Mood x Mind: Understanding Affective States and Their Interaction with Cognitive Processes

This student research project systematically evaluates both established and newly developed mood induction methods and investigates how experimentally induced mood states influence cognitive processes, particularly reward learning and decision-making. Students will formulate their own research questions, design and conduct experiments with healthy participants, and analyze behavioral and self-report data. The project is run at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Klinik für Psychotherapie (Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience), Campus Charité Mitte (CCM).
