| Project Description 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. Eligibility My laboratory will be recruiting graduate students in clinical and cognitive psychology who are interested in psychopathy.
