My research concerns the psychophysiological and neural bases of human motivation, reinforcement learning and affective processing, with a particular focus on fear and pain.

I use a multimodal approach to conduct my research, combining behavioral, psychophysiological (e.g. skin conductance, electromyography, eye tracking) measures, neuroimaging (EEG) and neuromodulation (TMS), both in healthy participants and in patients with brain injury.
