Focus on the neural correlates of characterizing cognitive control deficits during conflict situations.
The project will investigate patients with varying levels of cognitive control along with their close partners (sibling or
intimate partner) to identify the dynamics of self-regulation and co-regulation in provoked conflict situations in patients
with control deficits. To identify the precursors and dynamics of conflict escalation, the project will apply measures of
behavioral reactions, simulated or real conflict, fMRI and fMRI-hyperscanning techniques and physiological measures.
Neuroimaging data will also be combined with information on stress, control and conflicts in real-life via EMA.
