Project Summary

The project aims to explore the neural correlates in emotional human-human- and human-robot-interaction. The focus will be on interaction processes by patients with autism-spectrum-disorders (ASD) due to the fact, that this specific group has an affinity to robots, but often impaired emotion recognition. The data will be acquired using behavioral measurements and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
