- School: Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences
- Research Focus: Cognitive Neuroscience, Inhibitory Control, Auditory Processing
His research explores the neural basis of response inhibition and auditory processing in children, using multimodal neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, MEG, EEG) to investigate cortical development and cognitive control mechanisms. Key findings include the predictive role of auditory cortex activity in inhibitory performance and hemispheric asymmetries in language-impaired populations.
Publication trends (2019-2024) show consistent focus on developmental neuroscience, with increasing emphasis on cortical structure-function relationships in inhibitory control. Articles appear in high-impact journals like Human Brain Mapping and NeuroImage, often employing cross-sectional designs comparing children and adults.
