Gonçalo Oliveira

Gonçalo Oliveira’s research examines how cognition interacts with physiological signals to shape regulatory processes and adaptive behavior. More recently, his work has focused on the affective and metacognitive mechanisms of cognitive control, including: a) how subjective experiences such as processing fluency and conflict influence the recruitment and regulation of cognitive control; and b) how social context, specifically social isolation and the presence of others, modulates the activation of information and the engagement of control processes. He also explores a range of topics in social cognition, with an emphasis on person perception using computational tools.
