Our laboratory seeks to understand the cognitive and neural bases of psychotic forms of mental illness and related risk traits in the general population. We develop and test models for prediction of psychosis and other outcomes and evaluate changes in brain structure and function associated with conversion to psychosis among individuals at elevated clinical risk. We also employ cognitive paradigms and functional neuroimaging methods to examine mechanisms underlying individual differences in perception and belief formation and revision.
