I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow with Matt Davis at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, England. I make use of behavioral and neuroimaging methods to study speech and language processing in the human brain. I am especially interested in how changes in brain structure due to healthy aging or neurodegenerative disease impact neural recruitment. My publications are listed on my CV.

MRI Software
- The usual suspects: SPM, FSL, FreeSurfer, AFNI, and SUMA.
- SnPM for nonparametric statistics and SPMd for exploratory data analysis.
- MarsBaR region of interest toolbox for SPM
- Chris Rorden's excellent MRIcron for visualization
MEG Software

Other
- Geoff Aguirre has an excellent series of lectures on the fundamentals of fMRI.
- Most of the major analysis software packages have mailing lists going back several years with a lot of helpful discussion. I have made particular use of the SPM and FSL archives.
- The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences unit has a whole section on imaging.
- Ged Ridgway has some very helpful VBM scripts.
- Chris Rorden has an introductory tutorial in neuroanatomy.
