Bodily self-awareness
I investigate how we experience our body as our own and ourselves as the agents of our actions. Combining experimental and neuropsychological approaches, I explore how multisensory integration supports these experiences and how they change following brain injury.
Attention & Memory
I investigate how past experiences guide attention and shape what we perceive. My work examines the relationship between explicit remembering and memory-guided attention, with a particular focus on ageing, hippocampal function and neurological conditions.
Decision-making
I study how bodily signals and the way we perceive them relate to risk-taking and decision-making. My research examines the links between interoception, bodily self-awareness, and valuation, in healthy individuals and clinical populations
Interoception
I explore how signals from within the body contribute to our sense of self, emotional experiences and cognition. A particular focus is on temperature and its relationship with bodily self-awareness, alongside the contribution of cardiac signals to our experience of the body.
