Profession

About me

I am a doctoral researcher and work for the project AFFECT & PVS within the Cognitive Systems Research group in close cooperation with the group of Cognitive Neuroinformatics.

My work focuses on measuring affective physiological responses of people suffering from persistent vegetative state (PVS). With respect to this, I am especially interested the timing of physiological responses like heart rate and skin conductance in contrast to pure vegetative reflexes.

In my Ph.D. thesis I apply my findings about affective physiological responses for monitoring affect in a problem solving task.

Interests

affect detection, physiological responses (heart rate & skin conductance) of human affect, sequential problem solving

Ph.D. Project

AFFECT & MASTERMIND: I investigate whether or not affective physiological responses are characteristics of human problem solving performance. During my research I use a Mastermind game setting to monitor human problem solving behavior.
