Marek Wypych, PhD, DSc

Principal Investigator

ABOUT ME:

I am cognitive neuroscientist with interdisciplinary background (former mathematician and animal electrophysiologist). I work in LOBI since 2013. Besides my own research I have supported many neuroimaging projects conducted in the Laboratory.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

I am interested in psychological and neural mechanisms underlying self-regulation disfunctions. In my research I focus on the most common non-clinical self-regulation disfunction: procrastination. Currently I realize project researching the effectiveness and neurobehavioral mechanisms of cognitive-behavioral therapy targeting procrastination.
