Introduction

I am interested in the mind, brain, and bodily systems involved in feeling emotions. Alongside methods from experimental psychology and brain function imaging studies using fMRI, I also examine the relationship between emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in clinical settings, conducting research from a multifaceted perspective.
