Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPilleriin's main research interests focus on emotions and emotion regulation, mental well-being, sleep and dreaming, and consciousness. More specifically, she conducts research on the nature and continuity of emotions and emotion regulation across the wake-sleep cycle and how these are related to health and well-being. She also strives to understand the psychology and neurobiology of peace of mind as an aspect of mental well-being.
