Personal profile
Research interests
My research focuses on the neural mechanisms and correlates of emotional, motivational, and cognitive function. My research aims to identify risk factors for mild cognitive decline and emotional dysfunction and ways to reduce their impact.
My current research agenda encompasses three broad areas;
- Neural noise/aperiodic neural activity, cognitive function, and healthy aging
- Temporally and psychologically discrete aspects of reward processing
- Self-regulation and decision-making in emotional contexts
I also collaborate on a wide range of projects, including personality neuroscience, the neuroscience of the self, and meta-science and replication.
