Nancy Collins

Professor

Daniel Conroy-Beam

Associate Professor

Dan uses an evolutionary perspective to examine human mating psychology. He combines computer simulations with studies of real couples to help understand the nature of mate preferences, mate choice, and romantic relationships.

1) To understand the neural mechanisms of cognitive priority control in attention and working memory. 2) To understand the impact of global physiological states on cognition. 3) To use brain activity to decode cognitive states and augment performance. Dynamical Neuroscience

Michael Goard

Associate Professor

Scott Grafton

Distinguished Professor

Dr. Grafton supports an interdisciplinary research program at the interface of learning theory, the organization of skilled action, network science, and multimodal brain imaging.

Mary Hegarty

Distinguished Professor

Emily Jacobs

Associate Professor

Dr. Jacobs' research pairs endocrinology and brain imaging techniques to determine the impact of sex steroid hormones on brain morphology and function. Neuroscience Research Institute, Feminist Futures Initiative

Skirmantas Janusonis

Associate Professor

Dr. Janusonis studies serotonergic and other stochastic axon systems, with a focus on comparative neurobiology and computational neuroscience.

Ron Keiflin

Assistant Professor

Our lab studies the neurobehavioral basis of associative learning and decision-making (adaptive and maladaptive). We use sophisticated behavioral tasks in rodents, in combination with modern tools to monitor and manipulate neural activity.

Heejung Kim

Professor

Heejung Kim investigates cultural influences on psychological processes, and their implications for important real life outcomes, such as health, education, immigration, and policy support.

Tod Kippin

Professor and Vice Chair

Stan Klein

Professor

Regina Lapate

Assistant Professor

Dr. Lapate investigates the mechanisms and neural circuitry underlying emotional processing, awareness, and emotion regulation. Her multi-modal approach includes recordings of peripheral physiology, brain imaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation.

Zoe Liberman

Associate Professor

Zoe Liberman studies infants and children to learn about the origins and developmental trajectory of humans' understanding of the social world. Her research is at the intersection of developmental and social psychology.

Richard Mayer

Distinguished Professor

educational psychology, cognitive psychology, multimedia learning, online learning, computer-based instruction, learning with games and virtual reality, learning strategies and study skills, science and mathematics education, animated pedagogical agents

Michael Miller

Professor

David Pietraszewski

Assistant Professor

David uses evolutionary, developmental, and social perspectives to study the nature of human social group representations and explores how evolutionary psychology may aid the meta-science and reform movements in psychology.

Kyle Ratner

Associate Professor

Kyle Ratner investigates face processing in an intergroup context and the consequences of social perception for mental and physical health. His research uses theories and methods from social psychology and cognitive neuroscience (e.g., fMRI, EEG).

Nils Karl Reimer

Assistant Professor

James Roney

Professor

Jonathan Schooler

Distinguished Professor

The Center for Mindfulness and Human Potential

Samantha Scudder

Assistant Teaching Professor

David Sherman

Professor

Social Climate Science Lab

Ikuko Smith

Assistant Professor

Thomas Sprague

Assistant Professor

My work uses computational methods applied to noninvasive human neuroimaging (fMRI; EEG) to understand how neural processing of visual information changes across manipulations of attention, working memory, and eye movements.

Karen Szumlinski

Professor

Dr. Szumlinski’s major research interest concerns the biochemical mechanisms underlying the changes in brain and behavior produced by chronic exposure to drugs of abuse.

Rene Weber

Professor

Rene Weber is a media psychologist and investigates complex cognitive responses to media communication with an emphasis on the neural mechanisms of moral judgment, persuasion, media violence, cognitive control, and flow experiences.

Annie E. Wertz

Assistant Professor

Brandon Woo

Assistant Professor

Vanessa Woods

Associate Teaching Professor

Vanessa Woods looks at factors that affect traditionally underrepresented groups success in educational settings, which includes studying pedagogical practices that create equity in large college classes.

Hongbo Yu

Assistant Professor

Dr. Yu combines behavioral experiments, neuroscience and computational modeling to understand the relationship between emotion (e.g., guilt, gratitude) and morality and their neural representations.
