PhD student

Tomáš Dominik is academically concerned with issues of will from the perspective of cognitive psychology, psychophysiology and neuroscience. In his previous theses, he addressed the topic of free will and Libet’s experiment. His current research aims to apply Libet’s experimental design in psychological diagnostics. Besides that, he is also engaged in applied research utilizing psychophysiology, e.g. in studying driver’s fatigue within a project supported by TAČR grant.
