    Research Intrests

    • Theory of reinforcement learning via error- and feedback negativity
      Studies on this topic are investigating decisions, especially in regards of reinforcing and punishing consequences of decisions. A special intrest lies on affective reaction on different levels (behavioural, cortical, measured via EEG, fMRI or skin conductance) to predict upcoming decisions. 
    • frontal asymmetry and motivation
      First and foremost, my intrests lie in the interaction of personality and differences of cortial activations. On that point, personality traits like extraversion (Eysenk), impulsiveness and anxiety (Gray), sensation seeking (Zuckerman) or positive and negative affective stile (Davidson) are measured. Furthermore, the relevant affective motivational constructs like arousal, reinforcement, punishment, approach, avoidance, positive and negative affect are operationalized in experiments, to get a better understandig of the interaction of personality and brain activation. 
    • Induction of emotions and interindividual differences in affective responsiveness
      The priority is the induction of basic emotions via emotional film clips. Individual differences to these stimuli are measured on different levels via subjecitve ratings, cortiacal measures like fMRI or ERPs and spontanious EEG, as well as with skin conductance and heart rate variability.
    • Influence of emotions and motivation on attentional processes in healty and clinical groups. 
      Studies on this topic were about the interaction of basal attentional processing and diffent motivational states or the influence of phobia on information processing, e.g. in attentional blink paradigm, or eyetracking studies about the influence of sex as well as studies about the influence of the propensity for eating disorders on the attentional focus.
