Field of research: Attention and Cognitive control
Projects are available in one of the four lines described below, as well as in other areas of our research interests (developed together with the individual student).
1) Time perception and attention: establish a new phenomenon of blindness to time under different types of processing load
2) Establishing the effects of motivation and reward on focused attention
3) Effects of attention on the pupil response
4) Establishing neural markers of “Inattentional deafness” using Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
Current Research and Interests
My research group focuses on the psychological and neural mechanisms of attention and distraction, cognitive control, visual awareness, working memory and emotion. We have a special focus on investigating information processing capacity and the effects of different types of information load on brain activity, cognitive function and task performance, neural correlates of awareness and executive frontal control of attention and behavior. We also study individual differences in attention abilities. To study these issues we use behavioral experiments (and visual psychophysics) combined with functional MRI, Magnetoencephalography (MEG), and measures of the eye pupil all in human subjects.
