• The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on perceptual-attentional conflicts (DFG ADHD-Aging] | Study on the effects of brain stimulation on resolving conflicts between attentional control and perceptual saliency, and the mechanisms underlying these changes

• Aging & Dopamine Modulation [CRC940-B3] | This project is within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre CRC940 and investigates the role of aging and neuromodulation in regulating the balance between complementary control processes during spatial exploration, sequential decision making and forward planning under uncertainty.

• Emotional Development - Study on psychophysiological mechanisms of socio-emotional processes in adult development
• Number Sense & Motivation - Study on neurocognitive mechanisms of performance monitoring and motivation in math skill learning
• Development & Navigation (NAVI) - Study on spatial navigation across the lifespan
