Behavioral and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Emotion and Cognition
Researcher
Description
This study investigates how emotion, cognition and motivation interact in healthy neurotypical adult brains. This past year we have focused on the imaging study that investigates decision making processes in presence of both threat and reward to recreate real-life complexity. The objective of this is to research the neural circuits involved in escaping threat and those supporting aversive and appetitive interaction during dynamic threat and reward processing.
