Turhan Canli, P.I. (25% academic year, 75% summer)

$502,000 total direct cost, 9/1/02-8/30/05

The goal of this study is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate the role of ovarian steroids in brain activation patterns during cognitive-affective processing.

“Biological Basis of Personality and Individual Differences” (Funding for 3-day conference)

Turhan Canli, P.I.

$49,700 total direct cost, conference to be held 9/1-9/4/04

Research on the biological basis of personality and individual differences has been catalyzed by recent methodological advances in genetics and neuroscience.  This conference will offer a forum for interactions between psychologists and biologically oriented researchers who share an interest in personality and individual differences and will feature nineteen clinicians, geneticists, psychologists, and neuroscientists from the United States, South America, Europe, and Australia.
