Research interests

My research is centered on exploring the cognitive, behavioral and 

neurobiological mechanisms associated with Breathwork. Breathwork is the 

induction of an altered state of consciousness via voluntary 

hyperventilation within a controlled setting and has a focus on self 

exploration with the goal of enhanced well-being. The project employs 

both behavioral and neuroimaging methods to empirically assess which 

socio-cognitive mechanisms are influenced by breathwork induced  states 

and whether they have positive outcomes for well-being.
