Research Interests:
My research interests are broad, but focused around the use of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) applications and methods, with a slant towards clinical studies and psychopharmacology. Recent and ongoing projects include work on Parkinson's disease, breathing physiology, sex hormones, chronic pain, the brain effects of Cannabis (in collaboration with the CPU), and work combining fMRI with electronic cigarettes to study the neural substrates of smoking.
