Research Summary:
Dr. Johnson’s research involves recording the electrical activity of the brain, using a technique known as event-related brain potentials (ERP), to study the brain mechanisms underlying a variety of cognitive processes. Currently, Dr. Johnson’s research is concerned with using the properties of the ERP to characterize and quantify the nature of the processes and neural systems underlying the cognitive basis of deception. More recently, results from our deception studies have led us to investigate related questions in the realm of social cognitive neuroscience. In addition, Dr. Johnson has been investigating the cognitive and neural basis underlying different types of long-term memory, the basis of memory changes in aging, and the mechanism of action of sedative drugs on memory.
