WELCOME TO PANDM LAB!

Our interdisciplinary research bridges affective science, neuroscience, and clinical psychology to better understand the psychological and neural mechanisms of affective experiences and related mental health issues (primarily anxiety and depression).

Specifically, we investigate
 

1. how emotional information is processed and the corresponding neural correlates

2. how we make emotion-related decisions, and

3. finally, how alterations to cognitive and neural systems relevant to emotion processing and decision-making contribute to our understanding of psychopathology. 

To answer these questions, we employ cognitive/affective behavioural paradigms, and a variety of methods, including computational modelling, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), eye-tracking, and electroencephalography (EEG).
