Research Areas <\/h3>\n

My research focuses on deception detection and the psychophysiological mechanisms underlying concealed information processing. I use psychophysiological methods\u2014such as galvanic skin response (GSR), heart rate (HR), and breathing patterns\u2014alongside eye-tracking, EEG, and fMRI to investigate the neural and cognitive foundations of deception and information concealment. A second major line of my research involves computational psycholinguistics and natural language processing, where I examine how language reflects agency, intention, and moral cognition. I am particularly interested in applying both of these approaches to contexts related to cognitive security and cognitive warfare. Ultimately, my goal is to integrate these methods to develop practical tools and frameworks for understanding and predicting human behavior in high-stakes settings.<\/p>\n\n
