Our laboratory focuses on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying (uni- and crossmodal) perception, attention, and action in healthy young adults, healthy elderly adults, and adults with psychiatric and neurological disorders. By combining traditional mental chronometry with specific electroencephalographic brain responses, we aim to identify and dissociate the temporal dynamics of perceptual and response-related processes as a function of attentional modulations.
