I received my PhD
degree in psychology in 1999 from the University of Turku (Finland),
where I now serve as a senior lecturer of psychology in the
Department of Psychology and Speech-Language Pathology.
My main research focus is on consciousness research. I study how conscious and unconscious visual processes proceed during time. The main research methods involve visual masking, EEG, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). My research has
been published in journals such as Journal of Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex, Psychological Science, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. I have
published about 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
