fNIRS) and psychometric data, collected within and outside the lab, we aim
to understand individual differences and intraindividual fluctuations in
typical and disordered sensory, cognitive and emotional processing and
their behavioral outcomes across the lifespan – from neonatal age to late
adulthood. The methodological and substantive topics we work at are
diverse, but they inspire each other. We are committed to implementing Open
Science techniques to foster reproducibility in our research and beyond.
