David J. Hayes

Postdoctoral Fellow

B.Sc., Ph.D.

Contact: Mind, Brain Imaging and Neuroethics Research Unit, room 6441

Interests: I am interested in how emotional brain function gives rise to aversion and reward, and how these processes are related to neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and addiction.

Christine Wiebking

Graduate Student

M.Sc.

Contact: Mind, Brain Imaging and Neuroethics Research Unit, room 6437

Interests: Are emotions modulated by the resting state activity of our brain or by our degree of interoceptive awareness? To address this question I am interested in investigating the neuronal activity during rest and interoception using fMRI in healthy subjects as well as in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Oliver Lyttelton

Postdoctoral Fellow

M.Sc.

Contact: Office phone: (514) 398-6447

Interests: During my post-doctoral fellowship I hope to bring my knowledge of brain imaging analysis methodology to a more clinical setting. Specifically, I have a developing interest in neuro-psychoanalysis and will will get involved in the functional imaging of self-related processing in the brain. This would bring my research career into good alignment with psychoanalytic training at the Montreal Psychoanalytic Association.
