Linda's research focuses on the neuroscience of decision making, particularly how the social and emotional brain influences decision processes. She employs behavioral experiments, psychophysiology, and neuroimaging methods like MEG, EEG, and structural MRI to test hypotheses derived from interdisciplinary neuroscience theories. Her dissertation, The Microgenesis of Object-based vis-a-vis Space-based Visual Attention, explores the temporal and spatial dynamics of visual attention mechanisms via electromagnetic field recordings.
Linda serves as Program Director for the Summer Undergraduate Program in Computational Neuroscience (CNBC) and has taught courses such as 88120 Reason, Passion and Cognition, 94800 Negotiation, and 88342 The Neuroscience of Decision Making, among others. She integrates advanced statistical learning techniques into her research to explore both predicted and emergent patterns in data.
