Description: Social neuroscience lab in Barcelona
We are hiring!
Our team uses methods from cognitive neuroscience and experimental psychology to understand how political extremism impacts decision-making in contexts of political polarization. Specifically, we examine how extreme social identities and moral values shape people’s political beliefs, motivation to share misinformation, and willingness to engage in political violence.
We also develop novel interventions to combat polarization and the spread of misinformation based on insights from psychological and neuracognitive findings. We use a multi-method approach that includes neuroimaging tools such as functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), psychological testing, and behavioral experiments.
