Areas of Interest
- Electroencephalography (EEG; e.g., event-related potential and oscillatory analysis)
- Categorization processes (e.g., perceptual and semantic categorization)
- Studies on neurodiversity (e.g., autism spectrum disorder)
- Human memory (e.g., episodic, semantic, and prospective memory)
- Cognitive processes across the life-span
