Principal Investigators Dr David Bain and Professor Michael Brady have been awarded a John Templeton Foundation grant of £362,372 for a new project: “The Value of Suffering: An Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Nature, Meaning, and Role of Affective Experience”.
The project began in September 2013 and will conclude in May 2016. In addition to PIs Bain and Brady, its personnel includes project manager and post-doc Dr Jennifer Corns, PhD student Abraham Sapién-Córdoba, and a wider, international, interdisciplinary research team of neuroscientists, psychologists, and clinicians.
