复旦大学获得理学学士（心理学）；北京大学获博士学位（认知神经科学）。

在美国常春藤盟校达特茅斯学院的心理学与脑科学院，约翰霍普金斯大学医学院的利伯脑发育研究所从事博士后研究。现为北京师范大学教授，认知神经科学与学习国家重点实验室、IDG/麦戈文脑科学研究院研究员，学术带头人(PI)，北京脑科学与类脑研究中心-北脑学者，社会与情绪神经药理(Social & Affective NeuroPharmacology)课题组组长。主持国家自然科学基金委杰出青年基金、优秀青年基金等项目。担任New Engl J Med, Science, Nat Neuroscience, PNAS, Cell Reports等国际期刊审稿人，担任国际核心期刊Biological Psychology 副主编，Emotion, Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences编委。担任国际社会与情绪神经科学组织的执行委员会学术委员，中国认知科学学会社会认知科学分会理事。

马燚娜课题组的研究主要结合认知测试、行为决策计算建模、颅内脑电记录、脑成像、tDCS、神经递质调控等多种技术，开展系统的认知-神经递质-计算建模结合的脑成像研究来理解人类社会认知与社会行为的神经生物机制，尤其是在实时、动态交互过程中人际和群体社会决策的神经生物学机制，并揭示如何通过认知信念调控、药理和神经调控的方式改变这些机制及行为表现。课题组也希望将研究成果应用到情绪障碍、社会功能障碍的治疗，以改善其情绪与社会认知功能。相关研究结果发表在Nature Neuroscience, Molecular Psychiatry, PNAS, Brain, Trends in Cognitive Sciences, eLife, Cerebral Cortex, British Journal of Psychiatry, Neuropsychopharmacology等国际学术期刊。
