Research

My interest in human behaviour and emotion science was further cultivated by my time at York, when I was enrolled there for my BSc in Psychology. In my final year, I specialised and designed my dissertation project around the Dangerous Decisions theory and first impressions of faces. Furthermore, I also conducted my literature survey on whether the modulation of  human emotions is capable via artificial intelligence. Both of these independent research avenues really honed my interest in on the relationship between human behaviour and artificial intelligence, especially in relation to emotions, micro-expressions and body language. 

My PhD project aims to modulate cognitive models of emotional intelligence via the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and EEG  to build cognitive models that explain modulation of brain activity in regions associated with emotions. The aim of this project is to build data-driven cognitive models of real-time brain network interaction during emotional modulation via said neurofeedback techniques. In my opinion, this would open up new avenues for the current field of wearable EEG technology.
