Scientific research interests are linked to areas of sensory and cognitive psychology (the effect of stimulus context on sensation, perception and reaction time; the influence of small amounts of alcohol on perceptual and cognitive functioning). The major area of interest is the role of psychological factors in the modulation of pain perception, especially the role of attention and expectations.
