His main research interests are brain asymmetry and dichotic listening,[1] cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia,[2] and neurobiology of auditory hallucinations.[3] He has published over 300 articles in international peer reviewed journals, including in high impact factor journals, such as Brain (journal) [4] and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America,[5] and various books, among them Psychophysiology: The Mind-Body Perspective (1995),[6] Experimental Methods in Neuropsychology (2002)[7] and The Asymmetrical Brain (2002) (together with Prof. Richard Davidson).[8] He also edited the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology from 1990 to 2004.[9]
