I study how humans adapt to meet challenges across the lifespan and how these processes go awry in conditions like depression, anxiety, ASD, ADHD. Using EEG and multimodal measures, I explore the brain's emotional signals and how they shape performance, guide adaptation, and influence experience. My work spans diverse populations and has contributed to innovative technologies that help monitor, interpret, and enhance human performance, bridgintg the gap between understanding the mind and real-world outcomes.
Understanding how the brain represents and responds to emotion is central to predicting human performance and guiding adaptive behavior. In this talk, I will share findings from EEG studies that track the neural signatures of emotional processing across the lifespan and in diverse conditions (such as PTSD, depression, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, and ADHD). By examining how emotional signals support or interfere with task performance, we uncover patterns of adaptation, resilience, and breakdown. I will also discuss how these insights inform strategies and technologies to nudge emotional and cognitive systems back on track, offering new ways to optimize learning, well-being, and real-world human performance.
