Research Interests
Research in my laboratory focuses on the clinical neuroscience of
major mental illnesses, with special focus on criminal psychopathy,
substance abuse, and psychotic disorders (i.e. schizophrenia). In
association with The MIND
Institute we use non-invasive techniques for measuring brain
function, including event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The goal of these studies is
to elucidate and characterize the abnormal functional architecture
believed to underlie these clinical disorders and to understand
how psychological and/or pharmacological treatment modulates these
neural processes. Ultimately, the goal of this research is to understand,
diagnose, and effectively treat these clinical conditions.
My laboratory will be recruiting graduate students
in clinical and cognitive psychology who are interested
in psychopathy.
