Phd student and clinical psychologist
Research interests:
My research focuses on the relations between dysfunctional brain circuitry in Obsessive compulsive disorder, cognitive mechanisms such as error monitoring system and behavior. I am especially interested in understanding neuronal abnormalities characterizing OCD and how they can be therapeutically modulated via brain stimulation.
Methods:
Studies involving electroencephalography (EEG), Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS), and behavioral tasks.
