research

Not long ago, it was decided that the years in which I was earning my graduate degrees was dedicated to the "decade of the brain" by those that be. Ever so impressionable, I wanted to focus my research on the "brain" in my chosen field of Neuropsychology. As I grew more to understand the "neuro" in neuropsychology, the more I came to understand that I could not leave far behind the "Psychology." And as such, my research interests today have intimately intertwined so to understand abnormality as it relates to clinically related phenomenon. To this end, I am interested in placing diagnostic science on firmer scientific grounds. And I mean this too.

Using various research methodology, such as fMRI, virtual reality, meta-analysis, or good old tested and tried experimental design, I am interested in clinical disorders such as traumatic brain injury, schizophrenia, dementia and substance abuse along with inherent issues related to these disorders such as malingering, diagnostic typology, early diagnosis, and treatment.
