Lisa Luther worked at the Donders Institute (Netherlands), investigating neural mechanisms of voluntary attention using magnetoencephalography and functional MRI. She continued her doctoral research at the Donders Institute, exploring physiological and psychological reactions to emotional images, using methods like EEG, motoric, and hormonal indicators. In 2020 she joined the Language Lab at the FU Berlin as scientific researcher, leading the empirical studies of the DFG project "Children and Youth Literature Sentiment Analysis” (CHYLSA). Her current research examines children’s emotional responses to stories with and without poetic justice, comparing cultural differences in narrative perception between participants from Germany and from France.
