Dr. Dan Foti | Psychophysiological Analysis of Cognition, Emotion, and Reward

Roslyn Harold examined the interplay between the ERN, neuroticism, and internalizing symptoms! They found the moderating effect of ERN on the relation between trait neuroticism and ill temper symptoms is generalizable across task and quantification method! Great talk! #2025SPR

🚨Publication Alert!🚨 Check out a recent publication from some of our grad students in collaboration with the Kelleher Lab at Purdue demonstrating the reliability of a new EEG protocol to collect remote data in patients with Angelman syndrome (and their family members)!

Abby is a 2nd year PhD student in the lab; her core interest is in the neurophysiology of depression, using EEG to help characterize the disorder's mechanisms. Outside of the lab, Abby enjoys catching up with friends over coffee, finding new music, and spending time with her cat, Pippin.

Molly graduated from Tufts University in 2023 with a B.S. in Biopsychology. She is interested in using EEG to investigate the heterogeneity of depression (with a specific interest in anhedonia). When not in the lab, Molly enjoys cooking and hanging with her cat Bruce.

Reilly graduated from the University at Buffalo in 2024. Broadly, his interests involve utilizing the EEG to investigate mechanisms of risk for internalizing pathologies (e.g, anxiety/depression). Outside of the lab, he enjoys hiking, watching shows, and spending time with his friends.

Dr. Dan Foti joined the faculty at Purdue in 2013. The lab’s mission is to understand how the brain works and why it breaks in ways that give rise to psychiatric illnesses. When not in the lab, Dr. Foti is likely at the movie theater, watching the Fever play, or getting ice cream with his daughter.

At the end of October, PACER lab attended the Society for Psychophysiological Research's (SPR) 2024 annual meeting! It was a great way to connect with other scientists in the field and disseminate our research. See the thread below for our SPR highlights:
