Curriculum Vitae CURRICULUM VITAE Olga Maria Klimecki date of birth: 08/01/1984 married, one child STATEMENT OF INTEREST I am a psychologist and neuroscientist interested in understanding the neural mechanisms that shape our social emotions in adaptive ways. In this endeavor, I combine methods from psychology, neuroscience, and economy. Jointly with Prof. David Sander, I am now coordinating a research focus on the role of emotions in conflict resolution at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences (University of Geneva, Switzerland): http://www.affective-sciences.org/en/home/research/projects-and-foci/research-foci/emotions-and-conflict/ I am also the leader of the workpackage Emotion in the European project Medit-Ageing (deputy of the workpackage Emotion: Prof. Dr. Patrik Vuilleumier; main coordinator of Medit-Ageing: Dr. Gaël Chetelat). In our workpackage, we are investigating how mental health and well-being can be promoted through mental training in the ageing population. Our particular focus is on the role of emotions, their malleability and their underlying brain function: http://www.affective-sciences.org/en/home/research/projects-and-foci/research-foci/healthy-ageing/ In my doctoral research under the supervision of Prof. Tania Singer (2007-2012), I investigated neural, behavioral, and emotional plasticity induced by training social emotions like compassion and empathy with meditation-based techniques. The results of these longitudinal studies in adults provided evidence for the plasticity of social emotions spanning the levels of neural function, emotional resilience, and helping behavior. I extended this line of research to aggressive behavior with a BRIDGE/Marie Curie fellowship at the University of Geneva from 2013 - 2015.

  • From Empathy to Compassion in a Neuroscience Laboratory
    From Empathy to Compassion in a Neuroscience Laboratory Chapter I.IV of “Altruism: The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and the World”, Little, Brown and Company (2015) Matthieu Ricard In 2007, along with Tania Singer, I was in Rainer Goebel’s neuroscience laboratory in Maastricht, as a collaborator and guinea pig in a research program on empathy. Tania would ask me to give rise to a powerful feeling of empathy by imagining people affected by great suffering. Tania was using a new fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) technique used by Goebel. It has the advantage of following the changes of activity of the brain in real time (fMRI-rt), whereas data usually cannot be analyzed until later on. According to the protocol of this kind of experiment, the meditator, myself in this case, must alternate twenty or so times between periods when he or she engenders a particular mental state, here empathy, with moments when he relaxes his mind in a neutral state, without thinking of anything in particular or applying any method of meditation. During a pause, after a first series of periods of meditation, Tania asked me: “What are you doing? It doesn’t look at all like what we usually observe when people feel empathy for someone else’s suffering.” I explained that I had meditated on unconditional compassion, trying to feel a powerful feeling of love and kindness for people who were suffering, but also for all sentient beings. In fact, complete analysis of the data, carried out subsequently, confirmed that the cerebral networks activated by meditation on compassion were very different from those linked to empathy,which Tania had been studying for years.

  • The Social Neuroscience of Empathy Tania Singer and Claus Lamm University of Zurich, Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, Zurich, Switzerland
    THE YEAR IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE 2009 The Social Neuroscience of Empathy Tania Singer and Claus Lamm University of Zurich, Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, Zurich, Switzerland The phenomenon of empathy entails the ability to share the affective experiences of others. In recent years social neuroscience made considerable progress in revealing the mechanisms that enable a person to feel what another is feeling. The present review pro- vides an in-depth and critical discussion of these findings. Consistent evidence shows that sharing the emotions of others is associated with activation in neural structures that are also active during the first-hand experience of that emotion. Part of the neural activation shared between self- and other-related experiences seems to be rather auto- matically activated. However, recent studies also show that empathy is a highly flexible phenomenon, and that vicarious responses are malleable with respect to a number of factors—such as contextual appraisal, the interpersonal relationship between em- pathizer and other, or the perspective adopted during observation of the other. Future investigations are needed to provide more detailed insights into these factors and their neural underpinnings. Questions such as whether individual differences in empathy can be explained by stable personality traits, whether we can train ourselves to be more empathic, and how empathy relates to prosocial behavior are of utmost relevance for both science and society. Key words: empathy; social neuroscience; pain; fMRI; anterior insula (AI); anterior cingulate cortex (ACC); prosocial behavior; empathic concern, altruism; emotion contagion Introduction ultimately results in a better understanding of the present and future mental states and actions Being able to understand our conspecifics’ of the people around us and possibly promotes mental and affective states is a cornerstone of prosocial behavior.

As an international body of psychologists, neuroscientists, and cognitive scientists, we can tell you that our colleagues at Central European University are among the most respected in the world. Their intellectual legacy has had a global impact. We believe any city should count itself fortunate to have such a renowned center of academic excellence in its midst. The proposed legislation will make it effectively impossible for CEU to continue to occupy its current position as one of the foremost scientific institutions internationally. We respectfully ask that you preserve CEU’s ability to act as a center of leadership and innovation in Hungary and the world by withdrawing this legislation.

  • Activity Report (PDF)
    SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES 2015 2015 marked the third year of Mind and Life Europe aCtivities. It was a year of consolidation and planning, including the seCond suCCessful European Summer ResearCh Institute at the Fraueninsel, Chiemsee, Germany and planning for the 2016 Power & Care conference in Brussels in September, 2016. There were several additional important developments, setting the stage for the next phase of development for Mind and Life Europe. European Summer ResearCh Institute – 2nd session The theme of this year’s ESRI was “Contemplative Practices, Science and Society” and “focussed upon what is actually happening as contemplative practices seriously enter the worlds of mainstream Science and Society: how are meditation practices affected by the prevailing culture and belief systems, and how do meditation teachers themselves adapt to the changing meaning of practices in society?” as explained by Paul Grossman, Board member and member of the ESRI 2015 Planning Committee. An extraordinary faculty included: Tania Singer, Matthieu RiCard, Andreas Roepstorff, Clifford Saron, Paul Grossman, Katherine Weare, RebeCCa Crane, David Germano, Martijn van Beek, Joanna Cook, FranCis Tiso and Antoine Lutz. The event was attended by over 120 students and researchers from 31 countries, demonstrating the relevance and need for Mind and Life Europe’s field-building and consolidating initiative. Varela Grants Program MLE has received generous funding from the Hershey Family Foundation for approximately 6 MLE Varela Awards. These awards will be announced in late December 2015. The awards program is being administered for MLE this year in conjunction with Mind and Life Institute. The Awards are intended for younger researchers starting out in the field of contemplative science, thereby seeding the European field of research and applications.

  • The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, Department of Social Neuroscience Led by Prof
    The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, Department of Social Neuroscience led by Prof. Tania Singer invites applications for a Max Planck Research Group Leader (MPRGL) (W2) position or Senior Postdoc within the Department of Social Neuroscience The highly interdisciplinary department of Social Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences was founded in 2010 for the purpose of understanding fundamental mechanisms of human social behavior and, more specifically, the developmental, neural, and hormonal mechanisms underlying social cognition, social emotions, and social decision making. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities, the institute provides outstanding research opportunities for its scientists. We seek talented, dynamic, independent, and motivated scientists early in their career to fill an independent W2-MPRGL position or senior postdoc position and have the ambition to work in the field of social and cognitive neurosciences (e.g., social cognition, emotions, neuroplasticity). Such a position is highly prestigious and comes with generous core funding, so that research initiatives can get started right away. The successful candidate has 2-4 years’ research experience as a postdoctoral fellow and has an extensive expertise in structural and functional MRI (preferably with SPM, Matlab) and behavioral analyses. He/she will be involved in all areas of the departmental research program as well as be part of a longitudinal study investigating the effects of affective and cognitive mental training on neural plasticity, health, subjective well-being, and behavior (see www.resourc-project.org). Knowledge of other neuroscientific methods (e.g., multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), rt-fMRI, DTI, TMS/tDCS) would be advantageous.
