Joana Grave

Joana Grave is a PhD Research Fellow of Psychology at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/129980/2017a nd COVID/BD/152728/2022), and in collaboration with the University of Tübingen, Germany. Her PhD focuses on the study of emotion processing in the psychotic spectrum, namely the effect of emotional vs. neutral faces in the control of attention, the access to visual awareness, and the Representational Momentum phenomenon. She is also interested in studying emotion processing in the general population and in the autistic spectrum, using visual (faces) and olfactory (emotional body odors) stimulus. Previous works include collaboration on Curricular Units and research projects related to dementia care at the NOVA Medical School, Lisbon, and clinical practice as a Clinical and Health Psychologist on a Hospital setting.
