The family moved back to Dublin, Ireland shortly after his birth where his parents worked at St Brendan's Hospital.

In 2010, he returned to Albert Einstein College of Medicine and was the inaugural Director of Research at the Children's Evaluation & Rehabilitation Centre and Professor of Paediatrics and Neuroscience at the Sheryl and Daniel R. Tishman Cognitive Neurophysiology.

He was also co-director of the NICHD-funded Rose F Kennedy Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC).

His publications include 'Anticipatory Biasing of Visuospatial Attention Indexed by Retinotopically Specific Alpha-Band Electroencephalography Increases over Occipital Cortex'[8] which has been cited 1,469 times.

He is co-author of the paper 'Multisensory auditory–visual interactions during early sensory processing in humans: a high-density electrical mapping study'[9] which has been cited 1,079 times.

Other publications include 'The role of alpha-band brain oscillations as a sensory suppression mechanism during selective attention'[10] with 1,308 citations, 'Flow of activation from V1 to frontal cortex in humans'[11] with 797 citations, and 'Increases in alpha oscillatory power reflect an active retinotopic mechanism for distracter suppression during sustained visuospatial attention' [12] in the Journal of Neurophysiology, which has been cited 771 times.

He is Chairperson of the Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium and has in the past worked with the scientific advisory boards for the Food Research Council of Unilever R&D and as a consultant science advisor with the Parkinson's Disease Foundation in New York.
