Philipp Kanske is Professor for Clinical Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience at Technische Universität Dresden. He explores the emotional and cognitive processes that enable social behavior and their alterations in psychopathology. In his work he uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to describe the underlying neuronal mechanisms.

I support the Open Science Initiative of the Faculty of Psychology.
