General Research Interests

Dr. Nash uses physiological measures, primarily EEG (electroencephalogram) and EMG (electromyogram), to assess attention and information processing demands during cognitive tasks involving novel (low probability) stimuli. Current applications include the assessment of cognitive impairment associated with HIV infection in women and children using event-related (brain) potentials.
