Temporal attention and preparation: How do we use temporal information provided by warning signals to prepare for upcoming events / actions? To which extent do warning signals aid perceptual stimulus processing and action preparation in a selective manner?
Mechanisms of (phasic) alertness: Why do alerting signals increase congruency effects in selective attention / executive control tasks? Do alerting signals change the distribution of visuo-spatial attention in visual scenes?
Event-related potential (ERP) correlates of selective attention: What are the ERP correlates of selective attention (especially those of temporal attention)?
Language processing: How does the brain process information that is not given in a discourse context?
