SUMMARY:“Neurocognitive Mechanisms of the Emotion-Cognition Interaction”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: My research investigates the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying the interaction between emotion and cognition\, with a specific focus on attentional biases toward threat (ABTs) and human defensive responses (e.g.\, ‘freeze-like’ reactions). Utilizing a multi-methodological approach that integrates behavioral paradigms\, eye-tracking\, and non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS/tDCS)\, I have explored the causal role of the DLPFC and premotor cortex in modulating threat-related attention and motor preparation. My work also extends to clinical and applied settings\, exploring attentional avoidance as a functional strategy in earthquake victims\, action tendencies in health anxiety\, and the role of the insula in interoceptive accuracy and cardiovascular stress responses. More recently\, I focused on cognitive and affective symptoms in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early-stage dementia by means of behavioural and neurofunctional techniques (e.g.\, functional near infrared spectroscopy; fNIRS).
