Research interests
In my lab, we study the neuro-physiological basis of social interactions.
The lab utilizes behavioral microanalysis techniques and automated tools to assess naturalistic social interactions, together with brain imaging, measures of the autonomic nervous system, eye-tracking and hormonal measures / interventions.
