the Fani Lab — Trauma Neuroscience Research.
Our goal is to characterize diverse trauma responses using behavior, psychophysiology, functional and structural brain imaging, and use these data to inform targeted interventions.
Our Approach
We study how different types of interpersonal trauma, including racial trauma, influence the brain and behavior. We use these data to guide the development of novel, mechanistically-targeted interventions. A primary interest in our lab is examining how attention problems manifest in trauma-exposed people, and finding new ways to use technology to help people with these problems.
