About me

I am a senior researcher at the Center for Information and Neural Networks, aka, CiNet of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT).

My research interests revolve around the indomitable topic of human emotions. How they come to be when we recall fond memories of our past? How do they interact with fundamental cognitive capacities such as attention? What benefits arise from regularly engaging with positive emotions such as gratitude, specially when it comes to our well-being? Most importantly, what are the neurobiological mechanisms driving these relationships?

To tackle such questions, we employ neuroimaging, psychophysiology and online/face-to-face behavioral experiments, using a variety of different analytical methods. It is a challenging journey, but above all, we have fun!
