Director: Translational Research in Cognitive and Affective Mechanisms laboratory
My laboratory explores questions in basic cognitive and affective neuroscience, the biological bases of
psychopathology, and the measurement of group differences. Methodologies include functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), behavioral genetics (twin and family studies), clinical assessment
and cognitive testing. Current research includes (1) understanding how executive control mechanisms,
which are associated with prefrontal cortex functioning, modulate attention, affective processing, social
interactions and decision-making; (2) evaluating how impairments in such mechanisms may be related
to schizophrenia and the genes associated with schizophrenia; and (3) methods development for
analyzing fMRI, and psychometric confounds in the measurement of group differences. URL:
