The Brain and Behaviour Lab (BBL) is home to psychology staff and students with an interest in the brain and its role for human and non-human animal behavior. Research focuses on a range of functions relevant to social interactions including nonverbal processes such as friendly touch or the temporal coordination between interaction partners. These functions are explored using functional neuroimaging techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Additional insights are sought through assessing autonomic (e.g., heart rate) and hormonal markers (e.g., estrogen) as well as subject/participant behavior (e.g., accuracy/reaction times).
