My interests are in psychophysiology, cognitive psychology, emotion and perception, and their neural correlates. My research seeks to understand how conscious feelings of fatigue are formed as a result of sensations emanating from interoception, exteroception and in the context of experience and beliefs.I am also interested in talent identification and development, and particularly in how coach-led decisions of athlete selection are made.
