Tanja’s main research interests lie within the field of emotion research. She investigates the perception, processing, and expression of emotions on behavioural and biological levels in participants with and without deficits in emotion processing and social functioning. Tanja is particularly interested in facial emotional expressions and commonly uses facial electromyography in her work. She developed facial emotional expression video stimuli including intensity variations, which are available to researchers free of charge (see here).
