Research Interests

Understanding the brain basis of perception in body image disorders; new treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety disorders

We are using functional brain imaging to understand the basis for apparent perceptual distortions in body dysmorphic disorder, a disorder of body image. We are also developing new treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder and other anxiety disorders.
