Reseach overview
I am studying the psychology of the subjective and aesthetic experience including interpersonal attraction and its association with brain mechanisms. I am mostly interested in the psychological and neurobiological aspects of beauty, the appearance of attractiveness in faces and bodies, social attributions, and human perception. My main methodological techniques are psychophysical experiments with fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking, and motion capture. Human subjectivity is vague and easily influenced. We are pursuing applied research that will elucidate mind and brain functions concerned with the relationship and causality of these factors.
