Research
Dr. McGinley's research primarily involves physiological measures (e.g., cardiovascular, dermal, respiratory, etc.) but also employs behavioral and self-report measures. His main topic of interest is emotion. He is interested in:
- measuring it
- understanding individual differences in how it is regulated
- testing the conditions in which it influences aspects of cognition.
Lastly, Dr. McGinley is interested in the role of heart rate variability in behavioral, affective, and cognitive flexibility/adaptability.
