Main Focus

During my PhD, I am using Electroencephalography (EEG) to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of gustatory processing in the brain. With the help of a "Gustometer" designed to deliver taste stimuli with unprecedented precision, I'm looking at the sensory as well as cognitive aspects of taste perception, with particular focus on their alterations in human obesity.

More generally, I am interested in the principles behind the structure-function organisation of the brain, the interplay between emergent technologies and theories in cognitive neuroscience, and the efficient use and reporting of statistics in the field.
