Dr. Kraft’s current program of research aims to document cognitive and physiological processes within anxiety and related disorders and determine their role as etiological or maintenance factors to better inform treatment. Using a variety of techniques (e.g., event-related potentials, time-frequency analyses, skin conductance, electrocardiography, heart-rate variability), he aims to better capture cognitive impairments (e.g., executive function, attention). His long-term goal is to continue using noninvasive brain stimulation techniques (e.g., tACS) to target disease specific and transdiagnostic physiological and cognitive processes.
