I am a professor at Dartmouth in Cognitive Neuroscience. My experimental work aims to shed light on the neural bases of attention, visual consciousness, and mental operations including especially volitional ones that take place in working memory, and the rapid, largely non-volitional operations that go into the construction of visual conscious experience. In 2013 I published a book with MIT press called "The Neural Basis of Free Will: Criterial Causation" that looks at what neuroscience presently has to say about the neural code, mental causation, free will, and the neural basis of qualia and attention.
