Research Interests

Neural Correlates of Depression
Especially with the help of the electroencephalogram (EEG) I am measuring brain waves. After data collection, I am extracting event-related potentials (ERPs) from them. The goal is to find alterations in neural processing of persons with depression and underlying processes of the disease, in order to come to a better understanding of the illness and ultimately to improve treatment methods.
Emotional Information Processing in the Brain
How are emotions being processed in the brain? I am investigating current (induced) emotions and longer-lasting emotional styles, as well as alterations in depression.
Social Bargaining in the Ultimatum Game
Another focus is the investigation of social influences on bargaining behavior in the ultimatum game, in combination with alterations in depressed individuals. Also here I examine neural correlates with the help of EEG/ERPs.
