Research interests
My current interests focus on psychotherapy research, with particular emphasis on psychotherapy approaches for adults in the autism spectrum Currently, I am part of a large, multi-center clinical trial investigating the efficacy of two different treatments for people with ASD (FASTER/SCOTT study).
Beyond this, I am also interested in neural mechanisms of human social interaction. It is fascinating how fast and accurately our brain can process communication signals when we interact with other people (e.g., facial and vocal cues, gestures). To better understand how these processes are represented in the brain, I have applied neuroimaging, eye-tracking and behavioral methods.
