我们是心理学家，热衷于了解大脑如何产生人类和其他动物所见行为的丰富性。因此，我们的生物心理学和综合神经科学学科旨在识别解释行为的生物学机制。我们领域目前的重点是确定行为和行为障碍的生物学机制。例如，我们关心识别涉及特定行为，认知，特质或情绪的神经回路。功能磁共振成像的出现彻底改变了我们在健康人类中进行此类研究的能力。为了实现这一目标，我们在Turhan Canli的SCAN（社会，认知，情感神经科学）中心进行了由NSF资助的3T MRI。
We are psychologists who care passionately about understanding how the brain can generate the richness of behavior seen in humans and in other animals. As such, our disciplines of Biological Psychology and Integrative Neuroscience are aimed at the identification of biological mechanisms that explain behavior. The current focus of our field is identification of biological mechanisms that underlie behavior and behavioral disorders. For example, we care about identifying the neural circuits involved in particular behaviors, cognition, traits, or emotions. The advent of fMRI has revolutionized our ability to conduct such studies in healthy human beings. Toward that goal, we have an NSF-funded 3T MRI at our SCAN (Social, Cognitive, Affective Neuroscience) Center, directed by Turhan Canli.
