Research
Interests:
My
research
interests include the effects of alcohol on emotion regulation and
cognitive processes; in particular, I hope to study (employing EEG/ERP
and fMRI) the mechanisms by which acute alcohol intoxication can lead
to dysregulated behavior such as violence, sexual risk-taking, and
general impulsivity. My most recent project examined the
differential effects of alcohol on fear and anxiety. (you can view a poster on this study by clicking [PDF] ) The aim of this
work is to better understand
the neural pathways and processes by which alcohol affects emotion.
