Dr. Matthew S. Shane, CANdiLab Director

 

 

Dr. Matthew S. Shane uses behavioural, physiological and neuroimaging techniques to characterize cognitive and emotional processes in healthy and clinical individuals. Focused predominantly on antisocial populations, Dr. Shane’s current research focuses on the extent to which neural responses underlying emotional processes may be amenable to voluntary control. This work has helped characterize the neurocognitive abilities of substance abusers and psychopathic individuals. When he’s not directing the lab, he can be found walking his dog, sweating over Sudoku, or playing non-contact hockey

Isabelle Simard

Isabelle obtained her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in psychology at the University of Montreal. Her M.Sc. work focused on the neural correlates underpinning reasoning in autistic individuals. Her Ph.D. dissertation work focuses on identifying neural markers of offenders in resting-state activity, and the influence of psychopathic traits and substance use in the manifestation of these markers. She is also interested in the neurodevelopmental impacts of incarceration through adolescence and adulthood.
