Addiction, associative learning, attention, decision-making, frontal cortex, neuroimaging, pharmacology |
1. To understand how the brain learns new stimulus-response associations and replaces learned associations. 2. To determine the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the tendency to select immediate over delayed rewards. 3. To identify the neural bases of addiction-related attentional bias. |

| Hopfinger, Joseph |
fMRI, imaging, attention, visual system, human, memory |
1. The neural consequences of reflexive, or automatic, shifts of visual attention are studied with combined behavioral measures and event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in humans. 2. Determine the temporal and anatomical organization of human attention systems, using event-related potentials combined with neuroimaging methods. 3. Investigation of top-down attentional control, aimed at understanding the cognitive neural architecture of executive attentional processes. |
