Dr. Matthew S. Shane, 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
