Research interests

Temporal expectancy

I am investigating how temporally specific expectancies are organised in the human cognitive system. Central aspects of my research on temporal expectancy are emotions in time, multimodal integration, and interval variability in human machine interaction.

Motorvisual impairment and facilitation

It is a well established finding in dual tasking, that responses in one task affect stimulus perception in the other task. I am investigating why actions impair concurrent perceptionin some cases, but facilitate it in others.
