Social Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory
We are interested in the cognitive processes and brain structures that mediate the perception of nonverbal information in communication such as vocal emotional expressions and music.
Investigations
include whether and
how this information
contributes to
language processing and how it enhances or distorts the perception of
verbal information and its consolidation in memory. Additionally, we
study emotion expression and perception among nonhuman primates through
behavioral research with tufted capuchin monkeys.
