Research project

The neural integration of emotional expressions from different modalities (University of Leeds Laidlaw Scholarship, 2018)

  • Start date: 2018
  • End date: -
  • Co-investigators: Richard Harris, Charity Brown, Layla Kouara (University of Leeds Laidlaw Scholar)

Description

Processing emotional information is critical for social interactions but very little is known about how emotional information from the face and other domains (body posture, vocal utterances) is integrated. We have designed a programme of research that combines behavioural and neuroimaging techniques to determine how information about emotional expression is integrated in the brain.
