Lab Overview
We use theory and methods from neuroscience (e.g., fMRI), psychology (e.g., psychophysiology), and anthropology (e.g., evolutionary theories) to explore how humans acquire cultural beliefs and practices, how these beliefs and practices shape psychology and brain function, and how both processes impact human health and health care and the complex relationships between culture, the brain, and health. If you are interested in racioethnic and gender health disparities, clinician-patient relationships, influences on treatment decisions, racioethnic and gender bias in healthcare, pain, bilingualism, telemedicine, fMRI studies, and more, please consider applying.
