We use an interdisciplinary approach for investigations in the field of Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. Our investigations include research perspectives and experimental approaches from Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, Medicine, and Computing Sciences.

Research topics

  • Affective Neuroscience: Emotion recognition from voices, music, and faces
  • Social Neuroscience: Identity recognition from human signals
  • Systems Neuroscience: Structural and functional features of the limbic system
  • Forensic Psychology and Neuroscience: Psychopathy, biometrics, eye-witness memory

Research methods

  • Functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Surface electroencephalography (EEG) and intracranial electrophysiology (iEEG)
  • Single-cell spiking and cellular brain stimulation
  • Computer-based information decoding and representation (AI / Machine Learning / Neural Networks)
  • Visual and auditory psychophysics
  • Clinical neuroscience of brain lesions
  • Forensic experiments and psychopathological dimensions of crime
