Opis

Successful processing of potentially dangereous events is decisive for survival. Uwe Herwig investigated the neural processing of stimuli representing risks in different environmental domains by using functional neuroimaging including neurofeedback. He outlined the information flow in the brain during risk processing particularly focusing on emotions, and also addresses strategies for coping with challenges in everyday live.
