| Principal Investigator |
 Jenny Robinson, Ph.D.: Dr. Robinson received her B.A. in Psychology and Biochemistry, as well as her M.A. and Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from Case Western Reserve University, under the guidance of Heath Demaree, Ph.D. She completed a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship in psychiatric neuroimaging at the Research Imaging Institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio under the mentorship of David Glahn, Ph.D. (now at Yale University). Following her postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Robinson joined Scott & White Healthcare and Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine where she established and directed the functional neuroimaging program, bridging research efforts among 5 academic departments, and managing the neuroimaging component of over 15 studies. Dr. Robinson joined Auburn University in 2012 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology where she has built the only 7T MRI laboratory with the capability to collect over 6 channels of psychophysiological measurements. Dr. Robinson is interested in the dynamic interaction between the central and autonomic nervous system, and how these two systems support emotional processes. She is also interested in how emotions affect cognition, especially in clinical disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. |

Jessica Busler, Ph.D.: Dr. Busler is interested in connectivity modeling of cortical and subcortical structures, examining the neural and autonomic substrates of emotion processing and their subsequent effects on cognitive decision making. She is also interested in methods and statistical procedures guiding cognitive neuroscience and psychophysiology. |
