My main area of interest is music cognition and psychology of music. The Phd deals with music-color synesthesia and focuses on the relationship between sound-color synesthesia and the ability to identify and produce pitch tones without any reference tone (Absolute Pitch).

Another field of interest is the short term memory of musical information and, in particular, the effects of length and duration on the immediate memory of musical information.
