Her research takes a cognitive-neuroscience approach to clinical questions and uses state-of-the-art neuroimaging methods organized around interrelated themes: craving, regulation of craving, substance use disorders, smoking cessation, treatment for substance use disorders, neural mechanisms of change, emotion regulation in psychopathology, emotion-cognition interaction and mindfulness and meditation. She will discuss her work on the regulation of craving, using behavioral and functional neuroimaging studies, meta analyses, and clinical trials to understand the psychological and neural basis of this construct, and comparing between cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches.
