My current research ties in the neural correlates, with particular focus on breaking larger navigation tasks into smaller cognitive processes. I examine the relationships between these processes using fMRI.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a title=\"Liz Chrastil's Website\" href=\"http:\/\/people.bu.edu\/chrastil\">my website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a professor at UCSB, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural correlates of human spatial memory.
