Our research integrates clinical psychology with advanced neuroscientific methods to investigate the neurophysiological foundation of processes relevant to psychopathology and psychological interventions. Our aim is to deepen the understanding of aetiological mechanisms in mental disorders and – adopting a translational approach- to advance targeted, evidence-based interventions. Bridging translational and clinical neuroscience, we combine neuroimaging techniques such as EEG and fMRI with fine-grained behavioral and clinical assessments. Our work spans two primary, interconnected areas: the neuroscience of addiction, and fundamental cognitive and affective processes, such as inhibition or emotional processing, that are central to effective psychological interventions. Guided by a translational perspective, these lines of research seek to identify mechanisms underlying vulnerability and/or recovery in mental disorders.
