Brain Behavior and Addiction lab is interested in psychological and neural mechanisms of addiction.

Current work mainly focuses on reward-related behavior and mechanisms such as cue-reactivity, decision making, and delay discounting. We study both healthy human volunteers and clinical groups and use a variety of methodologies including behavioral experiments, online studies, neuroimaging, eye-tracking and non-invasive neuromodulation. Our ultimate goal is to gain insights that would help improve addiction treatment and prevention strategies.

The lab is located within WVU's Department of Psychology and is affiliated with the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute.

The lab will be accepting graduate students for the fall of 2026. Please check out JOIN THE LAB link for more information!
