We conduct research at the intersections of clinical psychology, neuropsychology and cognitive-affective neuroscience.
Our research advances foundational knowledge about cognition—especially executive functions and emotion perception—and the brain. We apply this knowledge to drive discoveries about mental health—primarily impulsive-spectrum diagnoses such as personality disorders and substance use disorders—and suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
We seek to achieve a mechanistic understanding of the factors that give rise to mental health conditions and related disturbances in cognition and the brain, with a primary focus on the effects of cumulative lifetime stress.
In our collaborative studies with other research teams, we investigate the impacts of research supported treatments—including psychotherapies and non-invasive brain stimulations—on mental health conditions and self-injurious thoughts and behaviours, and their corresponding effects on cognition and the brain.
Our laboratory trains exceptional undergraduate students in Psychology and Neuroscience, graduate students in Clinical Psychology, and post-doctoral research fellows at the University of Toronto.
