Area of Interest Monica Fabiani's research interests are in the cognitive neuroscience of human memory and aging, as well as in the development of tools for the non-invasive mapping of human brain function. As is typical of the cognitive neuroscience approach, her research involves the integration of data from different domains, including behavioral responses, neuropsychological tests, and brain activity (event-related brain potentials, or ERPs; functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI; and a new technique developed by Gabriele Gratton (CNS Group) and Fabiani, the event-related optical signals, or EROS). Fabiani's research develops along several interconnected lines: (1) Research on the neurophysiological and psychological bases of memory in normal aging, with particular reference to frontal lobe function and individual differences among older adults; (2) research on the brain activity associated with the formation and retrieval of illusory memories; and (3) research on the development of a new non-invasive optical brain imaging method (EROS) and its integration with currently existing methods.
