Cognition and Affect - Let's try to disentangle them!
The central research question of my doctoral thesis and reason for sleepless nights is how cognitive processes and emotional distractions interact with each other. How are cognitive resources devided and attention allocated during their interaction? In this preliminary project, we investigated the emotion-cognition interaction with EEG and a working memory - arithmetics task with auditory emotional distractions.

Our Brain in the Car - Driver State Decoding with Magnetecephalography (MEG)
In one of my PhD projects, I am investigating neuronal activation patterns during simulated driving with Magnetencephalography. I am interested in understanding and decoding cognitive processes during driving with different task difficulties (easy highway road and visually and attentionally more challenging construction work) and concurrent auditory emotional distraction of different valence (negative, neutral, and positive).
