Affectivism and the emotional brain

With a focus on the emotional brain, this presentation will discuss models of emotion in the context of affectivism. In particular, we will discuss the idea that the amygdala is a key region for processing concern-relevance, and that this amygdala-based mechanism determines effects of emotion on attention, learning, and memory.

This talk is part of the series Invited Speakers - Faculty of Psychology. It will take place in Brig, on the groundfloor of UniDistance Suisse's headquarters. You may also join online. The link for participation in the event is the following: http://bit.ly/unidistance.
