Areas of Study

  • Cognitive neuroscience, Social Cognition, Neuroimaging

Research Topics

  • Social Cognition
  • Non-verbal communication
  • Multisensory processing
  • Functional MRI
  • Electroencephalography (EEG)
  • Eye tracking
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation

My research program focuses on the neural basis of social cognition - the ability to interpret the actions, intentions and emotions of others. Non-verbal communication is a main theme in the laboratory, as is the context in which the action is presented in.

Another research focus is best practices for data acquisition, analysis and sharing of multimodal neuroimaging data.
