Research Interests
My main interests lay in social vision and social cognition. I am exploring how different mental concepts are represented cognitively and neurally. Specifically, I want to examine the overlap between different mental spaces and how they affect social vision. To achieve this, I am utilising behavioural, computational and neuroscience methods.
