Research Interests
I am interested in neuropsychology and cognitive rehabilitation of patients with acquired brain lesions. My work addresses mechanisms of cognitive plasticity focusing on acquired brain lesions, e.g. after stroke. My expertise is in computer-assisted cognitive training, particularly training of working memory functions. Currently, I am exploring modulators of the effectiveness of cognitive training, e.g. intensity, specificity and motivation. One of my projects targets gamification, i.e. the integration of game-design elements, to increase commitment and enjoyment of cognitive therapy.
