Małgorzata Wierzba, PhD

Psychologist and researcher of the human brain working at the Institute of Experimental Biology of Marceli Nencki PAN. Małgorzata conducts research using the functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) method.

Her research interests concern the impact of emotions on the cognitive functioning of a human being. In particular, she is interested in resting-state networks, involved in the processes in question both during exposure to simple, isolated from the context stimuli, as well as in realistic conditions (e.g. when watching a movie or listening to the narration).

In the evenings, she mostly reads textbooks for statistics and programming. Sometimes she packs her bike panniers to the full and goes as far as she can.
