Automaticity, Affect, Control & Thought Lab
The Automaticity, Affect, Control & Thought (AACT) Lab is an affective neuroscience laboratory committed to answering psychological questions about emotion, cognition and their interaction. Our research uses behavioral and brain-based methods to explore automatic and intentional emotion and cognition processes.
Individual differences also influence these interactions, and we conduct studies that explore how age, gender, emotional awareness, personality traits and other factors contribute to these processes.
