We will study cognitive and physiological measures (most importantly those can be acquired with so-called ‚eyetracking cameras’, so eye movements and pupil dilations). Together we will try to understand what these measures can tell us about physiological processes in the brain, as well as emotional and cognitive functions. We will also try to identify useful applications for these measures in clinical contexts. 

Research projects will be given (in coordination with individual students).
