Broadly speaking, my research investigates the neurocognitive processes underlying emotional perception, emotional attention and their links with subjective well-being. I'm particularly interested in how these emotional processes change with age. Hence, my research focus on how younger and older individuals process emotional signals originating from themselves, other people, and their environment.
Additionally, I am committed to examining the ecological validity of the paradigms used to study emotional processes. To this end, I employ a range of methods in my studies, ranging from incorporating social and non-social contexts to using immersive and/or interactive technologies.Â
