The Department of Psychology is extremely excited to announce that Dr. Kent Kiehl from the University of New Mexico will be speaking at the Departmental colloquium on "The Cognitive Neuroscience of Criminal Psychopaths."

Dr. Kiehl’s research focuses on understanding the clinical neuroscience of major mental illnesses, with special emphasis on criminal psychopathy, substance abuse, and psychotic disorders. He utilizes non-invasive techniques for measuring brain function, including event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imagining (fMRI) to elucidate the abnormal functional processes believed to underlie these clinical disorders. His research is critical in understanding how psychological and/or pharmacological treatment modulates these neural processes in order to effectively diagnose and treat these clinical conditions.
