Current research

My research covers a range of themes, including: frontal lobe function, brain training, consciousness, and attention. I use a variety of research methods, namely brain stimulation (tDCS, tRNS, TMS), imaging techniques (MRI, MRS), cognitive paradigms, and psychophysics.

Research interests

• The neural and cognitive operations associated with training

• Capacity limits to performance

• The consequences of electrical brain stimulation on neural processes
