Emilie Caspar was born in Brussels, Belgium. She obtained an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Neuropsychology and Developmental Psychology at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. She also holds degrees in criminology and forensic psychiatry and in teaching from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. She completed her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, funded by the National Fund for Scientific Research at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, under the supervision of Axel Cleeremans between October 2012 and December 2015. During that period, she was also a visiting PhD student for 1.5 years at University College London under the supervision of Patrick Haggard. She then received a postdoctoral fellowship from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (European Commission) to work at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (Amsterdam) with social neuroscientists Christian Keysers and Valeria Gazzola. Later, she obtained a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship funded by the National Fund for Scientific Research at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. At 33 years old, she was appointed Associate Professor at Ghent University in the Department of Experimental Psychology and established the Moral and Social Brain lab.
Emilie Caspar’s main research area is the study of the cognitive underpinnings guiding moral and immoral behaviors, particularly within coercive environments. She investigates the neural mechanisms that may be altered when people obey orders compared to when acting freely, and how some individuals can resist such orders, notably by studying genocide rescuers in Rwanda. She employs a social neuroscience approach that integrates self-report measures, behavioral assessments, and brain imaging techniques, including electroencephalography and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Caspar has specialized in conducting field research in neuroscience with populations often underrepresented in scientific studies, such as military personnel, prisoners, and both survivors and perpetrators of genocides in Rwanda and Cambodia. In addition to her research, she has also served as a scientific consultant for humanitarian NGOs.
Worldwide coverage of Caspar's work in more than 60 outlets [1] (e.g. Nature, The New York Times, The American Scientist, BBC News, Scientific American, …)
