MY Research

My research is aimed at understanding the neural and cognitive basis of empathy, altruism, aggression, and psychopathy. How do we understand what others think and feel? What drives us to help other people? What prevents us from harming them? My lab’s research on these topics uses functional and structural brain imaging in children and adults, as well as behavioral, cognitive, and neurohormonal approaches.
