Research interests

I am interested in cognitive neuroscience and consciousness. In my ongoing projects, I investigate how visual information in the human brain is processed for perception and action. This involves evaluation of popular theories like the Perception-Action Model. A general aim is to examine the role of modal (sensory, concrete) and amodal (symbolic, abstract) representations in perception and action.

CV

I studied Biochemistry (B.Sc. honours) in India at the University of Delhi and Neuroscience (M.Sc.) in Germany at the University of Freiburg. Previously, I have worked with non-invasive neuroscientific techniques like EEG and tDCS to study human cognition. In my master thesis, I conducted an EEG study on visual perceptual uncertainty with Dr. Jürgen Kornmeier. Since May 2020, I am a PhD student in the Experimental Cognitive Science group and the research unit Modal and Amodal Cognition. My full CV is here .
