Dr. Martinez’s research has been in the field of brain imaging and cognition. Her career began with investigations into the basic brain mechanisms of attention, and combining recordings of event-related brain potentials with functional magnetic resonance imaging so that both the time course and anatomical substrates of sensory and perceptual processes could be visualized within the same experimental context. Since joining NKI in 2002, she has been applying these multimodal approaches to the analysis of sensory deficits in schizophrenia.
