My main goal for the past two years has been to find the general principles by which both conscious and unconscious processes operate, and how the processing dynamics of the latter often determine the contents of the former. For example, in one study, I investigated how valence toward incidental, nonsense shape stimuli (presented subliminally) can stem from a cognitively taxing event (Figure 1).

In my current lab, Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Stockholm University, I am invesitgating the cognitive and neural mechanisms of emotion and attention using EEG and other psychophysiological measures.
