Matthieu Chidharom is a Researcher in the Department of Psychology at The University of Chicago, affiliated with the Cognition, Attention & Brain (CAB) Lab and the Awh & Vogel Lab. His research focuses on understanding the human attentional system, particularly the mechanisms underlying goal-directed behaviors and attentional control. He explores how cognitive processes like proactive and reactive control, attentional suppression, and neural mechanisms contribute to attentional biases and fluctuations.
His work integrates behavioral experiments with neuroimaging techniques (e.g., EEG, fMRI) to study how attentional systems respond to rewards, threats, and distractors. Recent studies investigate individual differences in cognitive control efficiency, the neural correlates of sustained attention lapses, and applications in mental health, such as antidepressant response prediction using EEG connectivity.
Key themes in his research include the interplay between attentional templates, cognitive load, and neural dynamics, with implications for understanding conditions like schizophrenia and depression. His findings contribute to theories of cognitive neuroscience and have potential translational applications in clinical settings.
