| Description | The purpose of this paper is to present preliminary results of an ongoing project whose main aim is to create and apply novel paradigms for social neuroscience research (project identification 72p12; period 03/2015-12/2015; investor: Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the CR; project type: AKTION). The bilateral project will take advantage of the long-term focus and methodological expertise in human electrophysiology (electroencephalography - EEG, even-related potentials - ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at the SCAN Unit, Faculty of Psychology, University Vienna, and newly established technological facilities (high-density EEG/ERPs, fMRI) with availability of target subject groups at the Department of Psychiatry, Masaryk University Brno. The project will include (1) developing a set of behavioral paradigms implemented for EEG/ERP and fMRI, (2) collecting pilot data using these paradigms, (3) establishing methods of data analysis, (4) training of students and lab staff in electrophysiological and neuroimaging methods and (5) organizing a meeting of broader neuroscientific communities from both institutions to promote collaboration and preparation of scientific projects that would take advantage of the newly developed solutions and acquainted skills. |
