Much of her research studies include cognitive deficits, applied neuroimaging to evaluate cognitive rehabilitation and prospective memory, defined as the ability to remember to carry out intended actions in the future. Dr. Weber works with individuals who have sustained spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and multiple sclerosis (MS). She has been Primary Investigator (PI) of a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) F31 Fellowship, which examined the novel application of an encoding paradigm to improve prospective memory in HIV-infected methamphetamine users.

Additionally, she is also currently PI of two pilot studies funded by the New Jersey Commissions on Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Research, Research.
