Research Interests My research aims to identify the neurobiological bases of criminal behavior, with particular emphasis on psychopathic personality. Using functional brain imaging techniques (fMRI), I am interested in exploring how the brains of psychopaths might function differently during moral decision making and social interactions. I am also interested in examining the role of hormones such as cortisol and testosterone in psychopathy. Thus far, I have received training in a variety of methods for studying psychopathy. These include functional and structural brain imaging techniques, assaying saliva samples for hormone levels (cortisol, testosterone, alpha-amylase), neuropsychological assessment, and diagnostic assessment, including SCID-I, SCID-II, and the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised.
