Research areas

My research focuses on the interface between perceptual and cognitive neuroscience using mainly mental chronometry and mathematical modelling as methods. Current research investigates the cognitive architecture underlying human decision making behaviour in multisensory settings; the involvement of basic logical decision gates; as well as sources of variability and history effects in speeded response time tasks.
