Current position

Professor of Psychobiology at the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychobiology of the University of Santiago de Compostela.

Interests:

My research activity at the start of my career was centered on the neurofunctional effects of chronic alcohol consumption (1984-1990) and the identification of risk markers to alcoholism in children from families with high densitiy of alcoholism (1991-2000). Since several years ago, I chair a research about neurocognitive consequences of alcohol binge drinking in youths, using mainly event-related brain potential recordings and neuropsychological assessment. I also share with other members of the groupo the interest in the electrophysiological characterization of visual attentional processes and its applicability to the study of aging.

Brief academic profile:

Graduate and PhD in Philosophy and Educational Sciences (Psychology) by the University of Santiago de Compostela, after a period as PhD student grant holder, I carried out several teaching positions since 1984, always in the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychobiology, reaching the position of professor of Psychobiology in 2011. I have teached mainly in the Psychology Degree, in  the University of Santiago de Compostela, and also in the Master of Neurosciences (Cognitive Neuroscience). Across these years I carried out several academic responsabilities, among them those of Vicerrector of Academic Organization, Dean of the Faculty of Psychology and Head of the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychobiology. I also was the President of the Spanish Society of Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience and the Coordinator of the Cognitive Neuroscience Research Network.
