Biography

I'm a postdoctoral researcher working in the DIGIMIND project, where my project focuses on how the interaction between the brain and the body contributes to our affective states and mental wellbeing. In the project we are performing lab-based and naturalistic experiments in which we combine neuroimaging techniques with extensive physiological recordings. 

Before starting in Jyväskylä I completed my PhD at Maastricht University and worked as a post-doc at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Research interests

My research focuses on brain-body interactions from various vantage points. I study how signals originating from the viscera influence brain signals, cognition, and emotion. For example, how does the phase of the visceral rhythms impact excitability fluctuations in the brain, or can the way our brain responds to heartbeats influence our emotional feelings?
