Research Interests:

Different brain regions communicate for integration of sensory information and cognitive and sensory-motor processing. Investigating the functional importance of different structures and modulation of connectivity among them during cognitive processes may help us to understand individual differences and recognize cognitive disorders.

We investigate the neural correlates of cognitive functions such as attention and emotional processing, the impact of stimulus manipulation on neural signals, and their relation to behavioral responses. Toward this endeavor, we exploit EEG signals. We also record EMG, ECG, GSR, and blood oxygen saturation during cognitive tasks.

This lab is equipped with a sleep signal recording room. Our lab members also investigate the role of sleep in memory consolidation and forgetting.
