Kymberly Young PhD

Dr. Young’s research focuses on understanding onset and recovery from emotional disorders, and on developing new neuroscience-derived behavioral treatments, including real-time fMRI neurofeedback. Using behavioral, physiological (EEG, galvanic skin response, heart rate, respiration), and functional imaging methods, she seeks to understand the physiological mechanisms of emotional information and autobiographical memory processing with the ultimate goal of developing techniques that allow individuals to modify these mechanisms directly. She is involved in mentoring post-doctoral fellows, K01 awardees, graduate, and undergraduate students.
