Research interests
My overall research interest is examining the interplay between emotion and cognition. I am particularly interested in studying the underlying brain networks using different methodological approaches including fMRI and neuromodulation techniques. In my current research projects, I focus on exploring new treatment options for depression and autism using computer-based training programs and non-invasive brain stimulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
