Research Interests
My research focuses on issues in Cognitive Neuroscience using mainly event-related potentials and psychophysics. Particularly, I am interested in processes of auditory perception and attention with special concern for the mechanisms and the temporal dynamics of integrating incoming information. Most recently, my research focuses on the processes that are involved in efficiently representing the history of auditory events and in how the auditory system uses those representations for the detection of changes and novel stimuli.
