Biography
My research is focused on emotion-attention interactions and how they change with age. Using behavioral, eyetracking, and neuroimaging techniques, I am interested in how our attention prioritizes emotional information over other information, how we may be able to overcome distraction from emotional stimuli, and how the way we prioritize emotional information changes with age.
