Short description

We aim to investigate the interaction of emotional and cognitive abilities by developing and implementing novel interventions. The interventions aim at improving cognitive flexibility and emotional regulation capacities. Most interventions are planned to be implemented as online tools for self-instructed and implicit learning. A special focus is on interindividual moderators, such as personality, situational life circumstances, and psychological or somatic disorders. In future, a prevention research project on heart-brain interaction is planned within an interdisciplinary research group.
