As my domain is cognitive neuroscience, My current research focuses on the strong correlation between peripheral sensors and the central nervous system in effectively distributing the cognitive load. I am exploring how foot pressure modulation correlates with distributed cognitive load during attentional-biased emotional tasks. My previous study revealed that the distribution of foot pressures is significantly influenced by the brain's cognitive demand during emotional task execution. Also I am working with cardiac signals along with EEG currently.
In my spare time I like to listen to podcasts and play with my children.
I joined PhD on 4th february, 2021.
Cell mechanotransduction is the focus of my study.
