Within this line, they have investigated the relationships between attention processes and anxiety states, predispositions to anxiety and clinical anxiety, using affective adaptations of numerous attention tasks: emotional stroop, rapid serial presentation, Go-NoGo, attentional networks, etc. In addition, they were interested in whether the positive affective state that characterises cheerfulness is caused by a blocking of the processing of unpleasant and unpleasant information, or whether people predisposed to this personality trait process both negative and positive information and events in the same way. Also, we have investigated whether the rejection and avoidance of any manifestations of smiling that characterises people predisposed to gelotophobia is related to a specific perceptual/attentional rejection of happy faces or, rather, to some general limitation in the processing of faces, regardless of the emotion they may signal.

In the field of the study of Social Attention, they support the idea that another person's gaze indicates more than a direction and provides a window to interpret what their internal states, emotions and intentions are. Research in this line focuses on investigating the role that gaze plays in attentional processes and on clearly dissociating the attentional mechanisms produced by gaze from the attentional mechanisms produced by socially irrelevant stimuli. Current research topics also include: the processing of face and facial expressions, the salience of objects, and individual differences in attention elicited by social cues that regulate human-to-human interaction. They study these processes at the behavioural level, such as the brain circuits involved.
