Research:
In day-to-day life, implicit cognitive processes guide our behavior outside our awareness. My interest goes towards the implicit processes that initiate and maintain disordered behavior. During my Ph.D, I will be exploring the methodological, neural, and cognitive underpinnings of several approach-bias measurement methods in the eating domain, and work towards developing a training paradigm to reduce these biases and facilitate the maintenance of a healthy diet in patients.
