Cognitive-Affective Neuroimaging Lab

Mark J. Fenske, Ph.D.

MarkFenske

   We use behavioural tasks and neuroimaging techniques (e.g., fMRI)
   to examine the cognitive and neural mechanisms of visual recognition
   and affective response, and how they are influenced by attention,
   emotion, contextual associations, and previous experience.

   We are interested in how these mechanisms operate in healthy individuals
   and the nature of their impairment in affective and neurological disorders.

   We are also interested in cognitive and behavioural tasks that can improve
   brain functioning.
