Research Interests

I am interested in the impact of emotional and personally relevant information on human cognition and behavior. My research focuses on emotion effects in facial expressions, written and spoken language, and pictorial stimuli using event-related potentials, simultaneous EEG-fMRI, psychophysiology and pupillometry. Furthermore, I’m interested in the susceptibility of the visual cortex to emotion, attention and reward. At present, I am investigating emotional face perception in neurotypical functioning and in autism spectrum disorders using simultaneous EEG/fMRI techniques.
