  1. Synaesthesia, especially sequence-space synaesthesia and tickertape experience
  2. Visual imagery
  3. Intuition and fringe consciousness in implicit learning
  4. The Hard Problem of consciousness

I teach themes within perception, attention and consciousness on the Cognitive Psychology module of the clinical pscyhology training program. I am also the course tutor (emneansvarlig) for the Cognitive Psychology module in general (PROPSY305), which is an international course, taught in English.
