He has been instrumental in the discovery of the several genes in which the mutations produce the clinical signs of parkinsonism, dementia, dystonia. His interests lay in clinical genetics of neurodegenerative conditions. To study the incidence of Neurological disorders in the Indian population and its relation to changing lifestyles.

We hope that future variants of this new imagery monitoring task will reveal additional insights about WM, consciousness, and action control.Ĭognitive control Consciousness Mental imagery Refreshing Working memory.Ĭopyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. Memorandum To undertake and promote research theoretical and clinical in all fields of medicine with particular emphasis of Neurology and allied fields. Examination of the temporal properties of the rehearsal-based imagery revealed that, across subjects, imagery events occurred evenly throughout the delay. Higher rates of rehearsal (conscious imagery) occurred in the high load and distractor conditions than in comparable control conditions. Specifically, in two experiments, we examined the effects on consciousness of (a) holding in mind information having a low versus high memory load, and (b) holding memoranda in mind during the presentation of distractors (e.g., visual stimuli associated with a response incompatible with that of the memoranda). To investigate this under-explored nexus, we used an imagery monitoring task to investigate the subjective aspects of WM performance.

Although it is well accepted that working memory (WM) is intimately related to consciousness, little research has illuminated the liaison between the two phenomena.
