Research interests

I am interested in cognitive neuroscience and consciousness. My ongoing projects involve evaluation of popular theories (Perception-Action Model, Planning-Control Model) about information processing in the brain and investigation of the role of modal (sensory, concrete) and amodal (symbolic, abstract) representations in visual perception and planning/control of visually-guided 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.
