RESEARCH STATEMENT
Deficits in social interaction are a central issue across many mental disorders. My overarching research goals are (1) to describe the interactive, emotional and cognitive mechanisms that underlie these deficits and (2) to specify their role in the etiology of different psychopathologies, (3) to enable earlier diagnostics and targeted psychotherapy. To this end, I work with behavioral (experimental psychology, ecological momentary assessment) and peripheral physiological methods, as well as with electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging.
