General Information

Vision
To advance an embodied and integrative science of emotion that bridges brain, physiology, and behavior at the origins of intersubjectivity. Our approach focuses on neural and physiological systems as dynamic, interacting processes, using music and affective prosody as key paradigms.

Research field

Ontogenesis of affective vocalizations; prematurity; Early Vocal Contact
