Research
The general aim of Emotion Lab's research is to describe behavioral, neural and computational principles underlying social and affective learning and decision-making.
Our research is motivated by a functional-evolutionary perspective, drawing on theory and methods from several disciplines, including cognitive neuroscience, psychophysiology, social psychology, and learning theory.
