Lara Maliske is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Clinical Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience, where she obtained her PhD in 2024. She studies how social-affective and -cognitive processes are represented in the brain at the network level, and in which contexts these networks interact. In her research, she uses magnetic resonance imaging and various analysis methods to study interaction between neural regions and networks.
