About the lab

The Affective and Cognitive Neuroscience Lab investigates cognition and emotion, particularly emotional information processing and its effects on cognitive processes, including: 

• attention 
• cognitive performance
• interpretation 
• memory 
• reasoning. 

Our lab uses a wide variety of cognitive and neuroscientific methods, including:

• behavioural reaction times 
• eye-tracking 
• electro-physiological methods: electroencephalogram (EEG), event-related potentials (ERP), psycho-physiological methods (eg skin conductance and heart rate variability)
• functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
