Brain and Mind Laboratory Research

Mind reading emotional states of the participants will be done using FMRI machines and self report. The participants will be exposed to various stimuli to trigger an emotional response. These emotional responses will be examined using FMRI machines as well as the self report in order to help classify and locate area’s of the brain associated with each of the 14 human emotions. Social cognition is also being examined in attempt to determine if social situations and perception effect the emotions experienced. This proposal is extending on research that my host supervisor and the Brain and Mind lab at Aalto University have already conducted on the neural basis of social cognition.
