SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am deeply amazed by and interested in the complexity of the human brain. My main research interests are investigating perception and cognition, in healthy and abnormal brains using techniques such as EEG and fMRI. I am also interested in translational neuroscience and integrating our findings in studies where they can improve the lives of people suffering from neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric disorders.
