Current research interests

  • The processing of emotional expressions in real and artificial faces

  • The interaction of emotion and learning processes in face perception

  • Influences of positive emotional context on motor inhibition

  • The influence of immediate and acquired social and emotional salience on attentional processes

  • The neuronal integration of emotional stimuli from different sensory channels (especially audio-visual integration)
