Research Interests

When subjects perform two tasks concurrently, performance is usually impaired compared to when subjects perform the same tasks separately. These dual task costs are often explained by a central processing stage with limited capacity that requires the serial processing of temporally overlapping tasks. In this context, my main research focuses on the control processes that regulate the processing order in dual task situations and on how these processes are modulated by different task contexts. In addition, I am interested in the neural implementation of task-order control. For this purpose, I employ non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

Also, I am interested in how increasing multitasking demands modulate neural activation patterns (cooperation with Marco Steinhauser, KH Eichstätt), in the similarities and differences of various multitasking paradigms (cooperation with Andrea Kiesel, ALU Freiburg, and Dietrich Manzey, TU Berlin), and in task-order control from an embodied cognition perspective (cooperation with Rico Fischer, EMAU Greifswald, and Roman Liepelt, DSHS Köln). Additionally, in cooperation with Veit Kubik (HU Berlin; SU Stockholm) I investigate the role of the motor cortex in memory processes.
