The aim of my group is to study self-regulatory control, especially performance monitoring, but also its interaction with emotional factors across normal and pathologic development, using a combination of clinical and neurocognitive variables with measures of brain mapping (anatomical and functional MRI and EEG). Learning more about the interaction of genetic and environmental factors during the development of children and adolescents, will help to design both approaches that facilitate processes of resilience, as well as effective early interventions that enhance mental health and hopefully improve the quality of life for children and young individuals in their life-span.
