Joshua's work focuses on characterize the neural signals that represent individual memories. To do this, his lab studies brain recordings from epilepsy patients with implanted electrodes and examine how the recorded signals correspond to behavior in cognitive tasks. His lab's  current work focuses on two areas: spatial and recognition memory. Using this approach, his lab has identified neural signals that represent specific memory information, including the individual locations in spatial memory and representations of individual verbal items in working memory.
