Her research employs both theoretical and empirical neuroscientific approaches to understand the principles of functional integration in the brain. In particular, her lab investigates how different neurotransmitters & neuromodulatory systems shape the dynamics of neuronal communication in human brains. Her work involves the development of Bayesian approaches to neuroimaging data and behavioral analysis. She is a co-author of the neuroimaging freeware package Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) and serves on its faculty at courses internationally.
