I am interested in cognitive neuropsychology of developmental dyslexia. I use behavioral (such as dichotic listening and divided visual field) and EEG/ERP techniques to investigate the cognitive and neuropsychological basis of dyslexia. I am also interested in the cognitive neuropsychology of language, attention, and the links between these functions.
