We study the interactive neurocognitive systems underlying Selective Attention and Motivated Cognition.
Research
MAIN PROJECTS
- How the Brain deals with Emotional Stimuli (HowBEST)
- Brain mechanisms of visual selective attention
- Visual selective attention, brain plasticity and reward
OTHER PROJECTS
- The role of the cerebellum in cognitive functions
- Attentional capture in Parkinson disease patients
- The role of posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in spatial as well as non-spatial attention
- To what extent biased competition captures the fundamental mechanism of visual selective attention in the ventral stream?
- The processing locus (loci) where visual selective attention operates
- Associative knowledge controls deployment of visual selective attention
- To what extent the attentional deficits in extinction and neglect are truly spatial in nature?
- The potential role of attention deficits in the autistic syndrome
- The role of spatial and temporal attention deficits in developmental dyslexia
