Kaplan, Jonas
Associate Professor of Psychology
I study self, consciousness, and meaning-making in all of its forms, with a focus on understanding the neural systems that integrate information to form high level models of the world and of the self. This includes a focus on narrative cognition, and naturalistic fMRI methods that allow for the analysis of the real-time, ongoing neural dynamics that support our understanding of the people, events, and stories that make up our worlds.
Monterosso, John

Our lab is primarily focused on decision-making, especially in the context of addiction and obesity. We use self-report, behavior, and fMRI. Our lab is currently (through 2028) participating in USC’s Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science (supported by NIH & FDA).
