About the project
Cognitive control refers to mental operations that allow for the adaptation of goal-oriented behavior in accordance with environmental demands. The control of interferences in information processing and inhibitory control are major topics in this field.
Objectives
A major goal of our research is to identify the cognitive and neural mechanisms that facilitate effective inhibition, i.e. the ability to control and suppress thoughts or behavior.
Specifically, we
- try to establish measures of response inhibition based on electromyographic recordings that can be directly observed, and thus avoid calculations that rely on model-based assumptions.
- are interested in identifying processes other than response inhibition proper that drive inhibitory performance (early sensory processing, proactive attentional control etc.).
- study the applicability of measures of response inhibition for the study of psychopathological ontogenesis and diagnostics.
