Main research interests
My work mainly focuses on the role of attention in perceiving social information. In particular the Behavioural and Neuronal correlates of biological stimuli (e.g. Faces and body parts) and distinct stimuli (e.g. Houses) under different conditions of attention like as: attentional load and attentional selectivity, using different paradigms like as: repetition priming paradigm, and a modified visual search paradigm. Methods used: EEG as well as classical behavioural methods of experimental psychology.
