Current Studies
Adolescent Twin Neuroimaging
We study the relationship between early behavior and later brain measures. How do twins differ in brain circuitry implicated in emotion? Brain measures are captured with fMRI. Some studies examine unique differences in genetically identical twins.
Sensory Over-Responsivity
We study sensory experiences and emotion. Some people experience intense or painful responses to everyday stimuli that most individuals find innocuous (e.g, clothing tags). We also consider similarities and differences between parents and children.
