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. In our studies, experimental psychological behavioral methodology is often combined with brain imaging techniques such as MRI (fMRI, sMRI, rsfMRI) and PET.
Group description

The Fischer Lab has been funded by the following research funding bodies over the years:
