Enacted Mood and Multiscale Research
Dr. Eric Laurent's research is concerned with mood, cognition, and health. He employs various and mixed methods (experiments, psychometric studies, systematic reviews). He also analyzes methods used in published research in the field of mood, cognition and health.
He carries out experiments involving eye-tracking, electrophysiological records, and self-report measures, in order to understand behavioral, phenomenological and physiological processes as coordinated patterns.
The relationships between mood, cognition, and health policies have also been considered recently.
