Its scientific output is the result of implementing since several years a consistent strategy of open recruitment, incentivizing doctoral and post-doctoral researchers and supporting the research efforts through an adequate research infrastructure." "Department of Experimental psychology" "Wim Fias" "Research in experimental psychology focuses on the functioning and the neuronal basis of cognitive and cognition-related processes, such as language, memory and attention. One builds on scientific knowledge of the theoretical basis of cognition and emotional processes in relation to cognition. This basic knowledge is also related to questions within, for example, social psychology, (experimental) psychopathology or health psychology."
