Affective Cognitive Neuroscience lab

The Bishop lab's research focuses on the brain mechanisms underlying the prioritized processing of emotionally salient stimuli, fear conditioning,  face processing, and individual differences in cortical and subcortical function, the latter including investigation of the neuro-cognitive basis of trait vulnerability to anxiety. Much of the lab's work involves functional magnetic resonance imaging.  For more information on Professor Bishop's lab, please see: http://bishoplab.berkeley.edu/
