The group's research activity focuses on the cognitive and affective aspects associated with stress processes in healthy people and those suffering from a long-term pathology, from a multidisciplinary perspective. To this end, it records neuropsychological, electrophysiological and endocrine variables, using non-invasive procedures, in various laboratory, field and clinical studies. The end goal of the research is to contribute to clarifying the mechanisms involved in stress processes and how these may impact on health, as well as to pay attention to the modular factors that may play a role. In thematic terms, the interaction between stress and decision-making in healthy individuals may have implications for maladaptive behaviours that may influence the health of healthy individuals. In people with long-term conditions, stress can act as a predisposing factor, precipitating factor or impact on recovery, cognitive processing, functionality and quality of life in people diagnosed with epilepsy. The results of these studies represent a relevant advance in the generation of basic scientific knowledge on the correlates of stress and cognitive and emotional processes, as well as a...The group's research activity focuses on the cognitive and affective aspects associated with stress processes in healthy people and those suffering from a long-term pathology, from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The results of these studies represent a relevant advance in the generation of basic scientific knowledge on the correlates of stress and cognitive and emotional processes, as well as a possibility of transfer to the clinical care setting, favouring the detection of the key aspects involved in quality of life and which may be useful for the design of cognitive-behavioural interventions. Institutionally, the Research Group maintains collaborations with other groups at national and international level. The different lines of study are financed by different research grants from the Universitat de València itself, the Valencian Government (PROMETEO Excellence Group) and the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (Excellence Projects).
