We are investigating the effect of synchronized motor activity on cognitive functions in various populations, such as healthy individuals and those with neurological or psychiatric conditions.
This projects employs behavioral measurements and mobile EEG technology to explore the relationship between synchronized motor activity and cognitive performance, with a specific emphasis on selective attention and verbal long-term memory.
Second, we examine the effects of long-lasting and acute stress on speech, as well as the mitigating influence of social support. This line of research employs a range of psychophysiological tools, including ECG, EEG, salivary cortisol analysis, and comprehensive questionnaires, to investigate the complex relationship between stress, social dynamics, and auditory language processing. The implications of our research extend beyond understanding the mechanisms behind stress-induced cognitive changes, as we also aim to develop interventions to improve doctor-patient communication as well as mental well-being
