| Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory |
- This NIAAA- and NIDA-supported lab conducts integrated cognitive psychology, psychophysiology, and neuroscience research aimed at understanding the relation between alcohol and other drug use, cognition, and emotional regulation, and advancing the treatment of addictive behaviors. We provide training for undergraduate and graduate students, and early career scientists in basic and applied human neuroscience research. In the past 5 years, our students have received 24 National and University Research Awards. The Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory promotes translation between basic human behavioral and clinical science to characterize novel mechanisms of behavioral change. Structured, transdisciplinary collaborative expertise and novel quantitative methods are used to cross-fertilize theories and methods and conduct translation research to improve understanding of mechanisms of behavioral change.

| Current Projects |
-
| Acute alcohol and placebo effects on memory and psychophysiological modulation of arousal (e.g., heart rate variability {HRV}, pulse transit time, skin conductance) in men and women. |
| Implicit and explicit memory for emotional and appetitive word and picture cues |
| Memory and psychophysiological arousal in high risk and substance use disordered samples |
| Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of emotional response and memory |
| Development of novel treatment approaches such as resonance HRV biofeedback |
| Development of a transdisciplinary, translation-science conceptual framework to discover mechanisms of behavioral change |
