The purpose of this interdisciplinary seminar is to develop competence on methods and results of modern neuroimaging in the context of concrete research issues involving emotion regulation, the evaluation of stimuli, and the reactivity to emotional stimuli, and their relevance for healthy and pathological functioning. Participants are expected to acquire the capacity to understand and critically evaluate research in the functional neuroimaging field.

The concepts of emotion regulation and reactivity to emotional stimuli refer to the mechanisms that integrate emotional and cognitive processing in the production of behavioural response in everyday’s life. Emotion regulation is also of central importance in model of affective disorders, where the healthy balance between affect and cognition appears to be disrupted. Neuroimgaing methods have given an important contribution to our understanding and theoretical models of the effects of psychotherapy and the individual vulnerability to affective disorders.   

Presentation and discussion of research articles. Prerequisite to attend this course is proficiency in the English language (lerning material in English).

 Scientific articles will be provided during the seminar
