Current Research Projects
Physiology and Cognitive Performance
We are collobarating with Dr. Ketih Hutchison on a series of lab-based and applied studies aimed at understanding the specific relations between physiological markers of parasymathetic functioning (e.g., heart rate variablity), sympathetic functioning (eye-tracking) and cognitive performance in college students. In addition, we also are investigating whether changes in these physiological states have an impact on individual differences in cognitive performance. In addition, we are investigating the links between mental health and cognitive performance in college students.
