Perceived Loneliness in Brain and Behaviour (BengtssonS_U22PSY)
Perceived loneliness is characterized by a willingness to get to know new friends, but at the same an elevated unconscious fear of strangers (Cacioppo et al., 2011). This PhD project will investigate the interplay between conflicting conscious and unconscious processes (Bengtsson et al., 2011); how the conflict is reflected in brain activity, by using fMRI, and behaviour.
