Research Interests

We investigate neural mechanisms underlying emotion-cognition interactions with a focus on cognitive control and adaptive emotion. Our research examines questions such as:

• How do neural representations in distinct prefrontal regions modulate goal-directed behavior.
• What neural mechanisms promote adaptive responses to emotional events?
• How do emotional responses impact the neural coding of time and temporal memory?
• Do temporal coding dynamics influence the dynamics of emotion?
• What are the neural bases and function of conscious awareness?
