Hi! I'm Jamal and I like to study how we process and maintain information from a multisensory world.
I’m currently working with Kia Nobre
in the Brain & Cognition lab as a postdoctoral associate at Yale.
My work primarily focuses on how audition influences visual perception and how memories interact with visual attention.
I’m also interested in how we store and use visual memories and in how we measure the strength or fidelity of these representations.
My work incorporates experimental, computational, and electrophysiological methods to better understand the cognitive and neural
mechanisms that give rise to perception and memory.
Before joining Yale, I completed my PhD at UC San Diego where I was supported by the NSF GRFP and advised by
Tim Brady and
Viola Störmer (of Dartmouth).
Prior to graduate school, I received my BS in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience from UC San Diego,
where I was fortunate to work in multiple labs, looking at a wide range of topics
from molecular neuroscience to human dance perception.
Outside of the lab I enjoy golf, disc golf, cycling, and soccer (COYS).
