Over the years, I have developed an interdisciplinary background that combines psychological and biological insights. Most recently, I completed a Master\u2019s in Cognitive Neuroscience at Maastricht University, driven by my desire to learn new techniques and collaborate closely with specialists in the field. During my internship, I looked into the emotional processing in relation to tactile fear conditioning paradigms within an fMRI framework.<\/p>\n<p>My thesis focused on investigating the neural correlates and functional dynamics of cued and context-driven fear of touch in a healthy sample. Currently, I am beginning my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Judith <strong>Dom\u00ednguez-Borr\u00e0s<\/strong>, where I will explore the processing of affective stimuli in greater depth, examining the <strong>neural pathways and correlates<\/strong> associated with <strong>auditory<\/strong> emotion processing. <strong>For this purpose, I will use<\/strong>\u00a0various techniques, including fMRI,<strong>\u00a0DWI<\/strong> and EEG. I am motivated by the advances in neuroscientific research and aspire to contribute to a better understanding of neural processes in both healthy and impaired brains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3109,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-3073","researcher","type-researcher","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cean, M - Brainlab<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ub.edu\/brainlab\/researcher\/mara-cean\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cean, M - Brainlab\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I graduated with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology from the University of Bucharest, followed by a Master\u2019s in Neurobiology and Health Psychology.
