Biography
Attention is a limited resource and emotional information tends to win the priority of our attention over other information - to the point that we can become distracted by emotion. In my research, I use behavioral, eyetracking, and neuroimaging techniques to explore questions related to such interactions between emotion and cognition, ways to overcome emotional distraction, and how individual differences - especially age - can determine the way people prioritize emotional information.
