Emotions

The BML uses movies, narratives, and VR to study human higher cognitive functions especially social cognition and emotions in ecologically valid stimulus and task conditions during neuroimaging. The laboratory develops new methods, in particular data-analysis approaches, hand-in-hand with the empirical work, and has been involved in translational research via collaborations.

We focus on human sleep research in a multidisciplinary context. We combine methods and designs from psychology, medicine, and brain research. Our team studies sleep EEG structures, and uses experimental designs to explore how sleep affects cognition, emotions and stress reactivity. We welcome collaboration suggestions from different disciplines.
