Anthony Singhal is a Professor in the Faculty of Science, specializing in Psychology. His research focuses on selective attention as a critical mediator of perception and action in interaction with the environment. He explores the neural bases of attention, a major theme in cognitive neuroscience, to elucidate how neural attention systems interact and shape multisensory abilities that control performance. His recent investigations delve into cross-modal attention and multitasking workload, revealing early links between attention and memory as well as spatial processing under controlled and automatic attentional influences. Additionally, he examines the interactions of emotional circuits in the brain that underlie attentional control, aiming to better understand maladaptive behaviors in patients with affective disorders. His lab employs advanced cognitive neuroscience techniques, including electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
