Forschungsinteressen

• Neurokognitive und neurophysiologische Korrelate von Arousal, Aufmerksamkeitsregulation und kognitiver Kontrolle
• Untersuchung von Aufmerksamkeitsprozessen mit EEG und Eye-Tracking, insbesondere Pupillometrie und Blickbewegungsmessung
• Klinische Bedeutung von Arousal- und Aufmerksamkeitsdysregulation bei psychischen Störungen
