Welcome
Cognitive Neuroscience of Response Control; Teaching & Organizing on Climate Crisis
The lab has parallel streams:
(1) We study how people control themselves. In experimental psychology, this is the field of “executive function” or “cognitive control”. We design behavioral paradigms and study the underlying brain systems using imaging and stimulation methods in healthy volunteers as well as neurological patients.
(2) Prof Aron is also Teaching, Organizing and Researching around the climate crisis.
