I study higher-order cognitive functions: reasoning, problem solving, creativity, learning, and  self-control. I am interested in fundamental questions concerning the human mind its evolution, architecture, computational and representational power, limitations, and neural underpinnings. I apply behavioral experimentation, eye tracking, and various EEG analyses. Just started to explore brain stimulation (tACS). I authored or co-authored ≈40 journal and over 20 conference peer-reviewed papers. Received several research grants (≈1.5 mln € in total) and the professors’ subsidy MISTRZ.

I’m a PhD student and my doctoral project concerns the structure of sensory discrimination abilities and their relationship to the fundamental cognitive constructs, especially fluid intelligence. In this context, I also examined whether intelligence can be explained by the abilities to process simple relations. Besides, I enjoy designing new tests and cognitive tasks and I initiated the project about the psychological basis of irrational beliefs. 

My research interests concern exploring neural traces of executive functions. In my PhD project, I am focusing on the interaction between language- and executive control using both behavioural and EEG techniques. In my side project, I am investigating neural underpinnings (mostly ERPs) of inhibition and conflict resolution in classic experimental paradigms, such as flanker, Stroop or go/no-go task. 

I am a Ph.D. student at the International Programme in Social and Cognitive Neuroscience. My research interests concern reasoning by analogy. I focus on sources of distraction that hinder the process of analogy-making. I am also interested in cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and as a part of my PhD project I study proneness to distraction during reasoning in patients. In my research, I apply eye-tracking to investigate the time course of reasoning. In my free, time I cook, play board games, and make my cats' lives better.
