Our lab explores social psychological theory by integrating across the social and neural sciences. We utilize innovative neuroscience and behavioral research methods and quantify when and why intervention is successful. We use a range of techniques, employing a multi-level approach from hormonal determinants (e.g. cortisol), to neural activations (e.g. EEG, fMRI), to behavioral outcomes, with the ultimate goal of understanding social change in real-world situations, such as in economic and judicial contexts. Such an approach will provide insight into the origins of discrimination, how specific interventions operate, and under what circumstances these techniques are practical and predicative of bias reduction.
