Description of Research |
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| My research in cognitive neuroscience focuses on issues of social relationships, empathy, self, action perception and creativity. I use functional neuroimaging to examine the neural mechanisms that underlie our experience of resonating with other people and being aware of our selves. | |
Research Keywords |
|
| cognitive neuroscience, social cognitive neuroscience, consciousness, awareness, self, self-recognition, self-awareness, empathy | |
Research Specialties |
|
| cognitive neuroscience, functional magnetic resonance imaging | |
