Main research areas
Prof. Dr. Dirk Scheele erforscht die neurobiologischen Grundlagen sozialer Bindung. Seine Arbeitsgruppe untersucht kognitive und sensorische Veränderungen bei sozialer Isolation und Einsamkeit sowie den Einfluss sozialer Bindung auf die Verarbeitung von Traumata. Die Forschung umfasst visuelle, auditive, taktile und olfaktorische Reize.
Methodisch kombiniert das Team behaviorale und hormonelle Messungen mit nicht-invasiven Hirnstimulationsverfahren (transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation), psychophysiologischen Erhebungen (EDA, EKG, Respiration bei sozialen Dyaden) und bildgebenden Verfahren (fMRT 1,5 bis 7 Tesla, fNIRS, mobile EEG).
