Research: My research focuses on the processing of written language, especially how phonology is processed in reading and how emotional content from printed words is extracted and represented by the brain. To achieve this goal, I am investigating the brain networks involved in these aspects. In my research I use several neurocognitive, brain imaging and stimulation techniques (e.g., EYETRACKING, EEG, fNIRS, fMRI, TMS, TES) to identify brain regions involved in language and emotion processing as well as the time course.
