Main Research Interests:
In my PhD-project I am working with pharmacological functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to investigate the role of the neurotransmitter serotonin in emotion processing, by challenging the serotonergic system with serotonin altering drugs while performing an emotional face gender-discrimination task
Other research interest(s):
I am generally interested in the function of the brain in relation to emotional processing and affective disorders, as well as the neurological-psychological background for these.
