How can we study the mind and brain in ways that bring us closer to real life – and closer to the processes underlying psychological change?

In this mini-symposium, two researchers showcase innovative approaches that extend psychological research beyond traditional laboratory settings and methods.

Dr. Martin Bleichner (Oldenburg University) asks whether we can track changes in a person’s internal state throughout everyday life. Using novel ear-centered mobile EEG technology, his research explores how the brain’s responses to everyday sounds may provide a window into changing neural states over hours rather than minutes.

Prof. Dr. Miriam Schiele (TU Dresden) takes us from epigenetic signatures of anxiety and stress-related disorders to new approaches in psychotherapy research. Her talk explores how biological markers may help us understand individual differences in treatment response – and how Virtual Reality can provide standardized yet lifelike situations for linking biological, psychophysiological, and behavioral processes.

Join us for “Measuring Minds in New Ways” and discover new possibilities for psychological research across biological, behavioral, and experiential levels.
