My research interests involve looking at the biological correlates of risk-taking behavior using a combination of functional neuroimaging, hormones and genetics. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and my dog, Obie, going to the movies or theater and doing outdoor activities (swimming, hiking, camping).

My
research interests involve studying
interpersonal interactions and the
emotions that are associated with them.
Specifically, I am interested in
trying to understand the mechanisms responsible
for behaviors in social
situations. I will be using multiple research
methods (behavioral,
biological, and neuroimaging) to address these
mechanism questions.

As
lab manager, I will be working on a few
different studies of emotion and
information processing. I recently graduated
from Northwestern University,
where I wrote an honors thesis on undergraduate
women's future career and
family expectations.

I completed my Master’s level in the lab (August 2009) by conducting an fMRI study that focused on the neural systems that support the influence of emotions on depth of information processing.

Mike was a lab manager when the lab was at UC Davis. In the lab, he worked on projects examining self-perception bias and emotion-cognition interactions using neuroimaging and special population methodologies. He is currently a graduate student at University of Cambridge in Simon Baron-Cohen's lab. Mike's interests include social cognition and autism.
Mirre Stallen

Mirre conducted her Master's level research in the lab while visiting us from the Netherlands (2005-2006). Her project examined the neural correlates of the affective and cognitive processes of prejudice. Currently, she is a graduate student at Radboud University Nijmegen in the FC Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. Her research focuses on the neuralsystems involved in decision-making.
