Dr Michiko Sakaki
Areas of interest
My research aims to understand how emotion affects cognitive processing, such as memory, attention and decision making, by combining behavioural and brain imaging techniques. I'm also interested in how the effects of emotion change across the adult lifespan.Research centres and groups
