​Emotions are a constant part of our daily lives. Sometimes, they can become intense, requiring us to regulate them effectively. Emotion regulation refers to our ability to manage emotional experiences, which is crucial for our overall well-being, performance at work, and maintaining healthy personal and professional relationships. When emotion regulation is impaired, it can contribute to serious psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety.

 

In this project, we combine non-invasive brain imaging with advanced multivariate analysis and joint modeling techniques to offer fresh insights into key questions about emotion regulation.

 

Key Research Questions:

  1. Can we predict which emotion regulation strategies will be most effective for specific individuals in particular situations? We aim to identify personalized approaches to ER, tailoring strategies to individuals based on their unique emotional and cognitive profiles.

  2. Can we enhance emotion regulation skills through targeted training? Our research explores whether specific training programs can improve individuals' ability to regulate their emotions, potentially leading to better mental health outcomes.

​

By integrating cutting-edge brain imaging methods and advanced data analysis, our research seeks to deepen our understanding of emotion regulation and develop new ways to improve emotional control in daily life.​​​
