Our research program can be roughly divided into three major themes: Perception and Action (perceptual organization, attentional processes, object recognition, inhibitory control), Memory and Language (mathematical and simulation models of human memory, neuropsychology of dementia, autobiographical memory, retrieval inhibition and forgetting, language comprehension) and Consciousness (neural correlates, conscious vs non-conscious processes in emotion, sleep and cognition). The program has a strong emphasis on theory development and on the explanation of cognitive phenomena using neurobiological principles.
