Chantelle Cocquyt

Hello! I am a PhD student in the Memory and Imagination Lab working under the supervision of Dr. Daniela Palombo. My research focuses on emotion and memory both in the form of behavioural and neuroimaging studies. I am currently leading an fMRI project examining how emotion affects how co-occuring neutral information is remembered and appraised.
