Research Interests
My current theoretical interest is in the cognitive neuroscience of strategic thinking. More specifically, I am interested in how humans select relevant information from the environment and use it to produce adapted actions. A further question that interests me is how people maintain a course of action in the face of distraction and, subsequently, how they perform multiple courses of action concurrently and switch between alternative courses of action.
I tend to favor an eclectic methodological approach combining computational modeling, mediated observation, and experimentation. I am a supporter of those approaches that carefully observe the biological plausibility of computational models.
My favorite application field is the domain of Human-Computer Interaction. I envision applications of my research in the use of information-intensive environments particularly by persons with various disabilities.
