Healthy volunteers needed: research on emotions
Western Interdisciplinary Research Building (WIRB) & Robarts Research Institute (RRI)
We often find ourselves dealing with tricky situations where emotions in ourselves and others run high. Our research group is interested in finding out how the mind and brain function to produce and control emotions. In this study, we are particularly interested in investigating whether emotions triggered by various stimuli (e.g., sounds or images) affect general problem-solving abilities, judgments, and cognitive function.
