My research focuses on behavioral and neural underpinnings of human cognitive functions, especially attention, executive functions, memory, and social cognition, and related clinical/healthcare applications. I am interested of how modern technology (e.g. virtual and augmented reality), wearables, online behavioral testing, and neuroscience can be applied in developing new healthcare solutions. Can we, for instance, use virtual reality to detect neurodevelopmental issues or implement related rehabilitation? Could augmented reality help aged individuals to manage daily living when memory and executive function starts to decline?
