Probing and modulating neural circuitry underlying reward and emotional processing 1) Acquire unique data to answer questions not previously subject to empirical testing (e.g. The nature of self and its relationship to reward) 2) Develop novel therapeutic options for patients with no treatment alternatives (e.g. Treatment resistant psychiatric disease)

Tasks now under development will look at decision-making under uncertainty, emotion recognition and reward anticipation From Neurophysiology to Clinical Research – Depression – Bipolar Disorder – Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder – Anorexia Nervosa – Schizophrenia – Drug Addiction – Alcoholism Disorders of self processing and primary reward dysfunction Implications
