Research interests

My focus revolves around the exploration of memory and its translation from laboratory assessments to real-world applications. In my research, I employ cutting-edge techniques to evaluate cognitive decline and its impact on daily life by incorporating naturalistic scenarios into traditional lab testing. Utilizing electroencephalography (EEG), I quantify brain activity during memory tests, examining how behavioral interventions influence brain networks. 

Simultaneously, my work involves developing interventions to ameliorate or decelerate memory decline. This encompasses a combination of brain stimulation and cognitive training exercises. My expertise lies in employing multimodal approaches to understand cognition in both health and disease. I possess a particular interest in signal processing and recordings of EEG and ERP, connectivity analyses in EEG, ERP, and fMRI, and the integration of diverse modalities for comprehensive human brain mapping (EEG, TMS, fMRI).

Cognition and ageing: I am interested in how healthy ageing changes cognitive performance and I work on designing interventions that could slow down physiological cognitive decline. I work with healthy and clinical populations.
