The NUMMENMAA LAB at Turku PET Centre is dedicated to unraveling the neurochemical and functional mechanisms that support human emotions, as well as their dysfunction in various psychiatric and neurological disorders. The lab focuses on studying system-level biological circuits from the brain to the periphery, particularly the endogenous opioid, dopamine, and endocannabinoid systems.
The lab combines state-of-the-art nuclear medicine imaging with advanced signal analysis, large-scale neuroinformatics, and modern clinical psychology to measure the brain's molecular organization and function using PET and MRI. It also conducts behavioral research using eye tracking and mobile recording techniques. Led by Lauri Nummenmaa, the lab is funded by the European Research Council, Academy of Finland, and other institutions.
The iScience group at the University of Konstanz focuses on methodologies for Internet-based scientific research and the interplay of Internet and Psychology.
The Department of Psychology at Northeastern University explores the inner workings of the brain and behavior. It is committed to diversity, inclusion, and cutting-edge research in areas such as behavioral neuroscience and social psychology.
Yale University's Department of Psychology is known for its world-class research and education in cognitive, social, and clinical psychology, aiming to understand and improve mental health and behavior.
