My Research & Me
I‘m a PhD student in psychology. My current research focuses on temporal dynamics of boredom and self-control and tries to answer the following questions: Does the perception of boredom intensify over time while performing in a more or less cognitive demanding task? Is enduring boredom effortful? What impact do boredom and self-control have on our cognitive and motor performance? To find out, I elicit physiological, neuronal and psychological measures during tasks with various difficulty levels.
