At the most general level, we are interested in the relations between cognition and systems of perception, action, and emotion. Some of our more specific interests are affect and emotion, embodied cognition, memory, and language. Our research involves behavioral methods (measures of response speed and response force, eye tracking), electrophysiological methods (e.g., ERP), as well as neuroimaging (fMRI).
