Hr. Dr. Benedikt Langenbach
Research Interests
I’m a psychologist studying cognitive and neural underpinnings of social behaviour. During my PhD, I used paradigms from behavioural economics and combined them with neuroscientific methods to study intergenerational decision-making in healthy people. During my postdoc in the lab of Prof Katja Kölkebeck, I’m focussing on neural correlates of disorders with relation to social behaviour, especially autism and anxiety disorders.
