Verbally-induced shifts in perception and action: when language instructs experience

My research portfolio centers on how language can influence behavior, perception, and experiences, bridging cognitive science, clinical and social psychology, and computational modeling in both healthy and pathological contexts. During my doctoral research, I used language and social expectation to generate active manipulations of consciousness via hypnosis, studying the attentional and cognitive mechanisms that integrate suggested information into the perceptual pipeline and yield tangible changes in information processing and subjective experience.
