Biography

I am intrigued by how we process various environmental stimuli and filter out irrelevant information. For instance, when walking down a busy street, we must avoid getting distracted by advertisements or street performers. With the help of my advisor and colleagues, I have been exploring this topic in different research projects and collaborations. Specifically, I am focused on social attention and working memory from infancy to adulthood, as well as in subclinical and clinical samples. I use various methods to answer my research questions, including mobile and static eye trackers, wearable electrophysiological devices, and behavioural tasks.
