Behavioral Neuroscience | Cognition & Cognitive Neuroscience | Clinical Psychology

Research Summary:

My research aims at understanding how the brain encodes the subjective experience of pain using a variety of psychophysiological and brain imaging techniques (skin conductance, reflexes, EEG, fMRI). How is pain affected by prior expectations and ongoing emotional states? Why do some people experience more pain than others, and why does sometimes pain seem to endure despite the absence of peripheral injury?
