About

Professor Christian Ruff is a faculty member at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. His research interests include cognitive neuroscience, prosocial behavior, and the neural mechanisms underlying decision-making and social interactions. Recent publications focus on topics such as attention manipulation, the impact of acute stress on prosocial behavior, and neurocomputational models of altruism. Professor Ruff's work combines experimental psychology with neuroimaging techniques to explore the complexities of human behavior and cognition.
