Memory and Emotion Project

The Memory and Emotion Project explores how our feelings influence the way we remember events. It examines the interaction between emotional states and memory formation, aiming to understand why certain memories are vivid or enduring while others fade. By studying this relationship, researchers hope to improve treatments for conditions like PTSD and anxiety, where traumatic memories are affected by emotional responses. The project combines psychological assessments and neuroscientific methods to uncover the mechanisms behind how emotions shape our memories, ultimately contributing to better mental health interventions and a deeper understanding of human cognition.
