Social Cognition and Affective Neuroscience
at Merrimack College
Our research broadly examines the mechanisms by which behaviors, emotions, and memories can be altered by our past experiences or external/internal factors and can be improved by interventions.
The SCAN Lab has three main areas of research:
The social cognition and behavioral neuroscience of emotion regulation
The impact of motivation and external/internal factors on performance
The impact of sleep on learning, memory, and emotions
The SCAN Lab at Merrimack College is housed in the Department of Psychology
