MISSION
The BRAINS Lab uses a translational biobehavioral research framework to understand the etiology and treatment of co-occurring internalizing and substance use disorders. To accomplish our ultimate aim of reducing the suffering and public health burden associated with these disorders, our lab focuses on the following two objectives:

Risk Assessment
1) Design human laboratory models of theoretical psychopathological mechanisms and characterize these mechanisms across multiple units of analysis (e.g., EEG, peripheral psychophysiology, behavior, self-report), with a strong emphasis on the development of reliable measures that can serve as possible treatment targets and/or clinically useful predictors (e.g., of disorder risk/course, treatment response).
