Research group The Fischer Lab

Fischer's research lab studies various aspects of emotional, social, perceptual, and cognitive processing. The lab also examines how intraindividual variations over stimuli and time, and interindividual differences in age, gender, genetics, personality, and lack of sleep affect these processes.

In Fischer's research lab, we study various aspects of emotional, social, perceptual, and cognitive processing, as well as how age, sex, genetics, personality, and lack of sleep affect these processes. Our studies often combine experimental psychological behavioral methodologies with brain imaging techniques such as MRI (fMRI, sMRI, rsfMRI) and PET.
