General description
I work at the Department of Psychology in research and teaching duties, as an Associate Professor. I have a long experience in behavioral neuroscience research. My specialty is electrophysiological measurements and analysis of measured signals in relation to behavior.

Research interests
I am interested in how memories are created and stored in the brain. I am particularly interested in the functioning of the hippocampus, as it is an important brain structure especially in the formation of so-called episodic memories of life events. In addition, I am currently researching how the body's rhythmic activity, mainly heart rate and breathing, regulates learning. I am also interested in the effects of physical fitness and training on learning ability.
