Projects

The CAN lab seeks to explore the interactive relationship between cognitive processes (in particular, attention) and emotional processes, with a focus on children, adolescents, and young adults. The lab utilizes behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, with the goal of contributing to the identification of the neural correlates of disorders of mood, attention, and behavior.

Current studies:

• Study of the relationship between individual differences in emotion, attention, and conflict processing
• Examination of the relationship between mindfulness, attention regulation, and mood
• Research on the relationship between attention, mood, and implicit memory
• Pilot study of the effects of social and emotional words on attention processes
• Study of the influence of emotion regulation techniques on memory for emotional and non-emotional information
