What we do

Our overarching goal is to determine the neural mechanism of emotional experiences as well as their regulation by cognitive process, and, how these mechanisms can be target by novel neuromodulatory strategies with the aim to develop innovate and better treatments for mental disoders such as addiction, depression and anxiety. To this end we capitalize on an entire array of cognitive-affective and computational neuroscience methods, particularly advanced neuroimaging in combination with machine learning-based neural decoding, meta-analytic and transdiagnostic approaches and precision neuromodulation, including real-time fMRI neurofeedback and pharmacological neuroenhancers. The team is led by Professor Benjamin Becker, inherently multidisciplinary and truly international with members from Germany, China Mainland, Hong Kong, Italy, Ghana and Kenya and established collaborations that cut across traditional borders and disciplines.
