Experimental Cognitive and Biopsychological Research Group

The members of the Experimental Cognitive and Biopsychology Research Group (ECB) are professors and doctoral students affiliated with the Department of Behavioural Sciences, the Institute of Psychology, the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, and the Department of Electrical Networks. The ECB represents a research direction that primarily employs experimental tools to investigate the characteristics of human cognitive functions, with a particular focus on biopsychological models. To address our research interests, we utilise a range of approaches, including behavioural (psychophysical), electrophysiological, and cognitive neuroscience techniques (e.g. fMRI). Among our current research topics, we would like to highlight the following: experimental studies of acute cognitive fatigue, acute pain perception, and the cognitive processes underlying phobias and fears.
