Main interests:
I am currently exploring the neural underpinnings of working memory dysfunction in schizophrenia, and the modulating effects of antipsychotic medication on brain networks. I adopt functional and multi-modal imaging, connectivity and multivariate analyses, and machine learning algorithms as tools of investigation.
Other research interests:
Generally, I am interested in observing how the brain networks and distributes attentional resources in order to efficiently perform cognitive tasks, and in instances where the brain cannot perform to an efficient level.
