LAB

Welcome to the Toronto Laboratory for Social Neuroscience, where we integrate biological and psychological explanations of social behaviour. Although much of our work uses a social neuroscience approach, many of our studies are also purely behavioural, relying on classic social psychology methods. We study a number of important psychological phenomenon, including the study of prejudice and discrimination from the point of view of stigmatized individuals, the factors contributing to self-control success and failure, the neurocognitive markers of religiosity, and neural responses to uncertainty. The laboratory is housed in the new Science Building at the University of Toronto Scarborough and contains three 64-channel EEG/ERP recording systems, a full suite of psychophysiological recording equipment, five individual testing cubicles with computer workstations, and office space for five graduate students and two post-docs.
