About Us
The main goal of the Personality and Social Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory is to investigate how brain shape personality and interact with social behavior. We would like to ask a question from the perspective of social cognitive psychology, and to solve it using neuroscience, physiology or endocrinology technology.
We use varieties of methods including behavioral index (response accuracy, reaction time), physiological index (skin conductance, heart rate, and salivary cortisol), electrophysiological index (Event-related potential and EEG) and brain imaging techonology (fMRI) to explore this field.
Currently, we can offer three to four acadamic master graduate positions, and one PhD candidate each year. Welcome to join us if you are interested in social cognitive neuroscience.
