Lauren currently works on the psychophysiology and brain imaging portion of theMidlife in the United States (MIDUS) project, a longitudinal study examining how biology, personal characteristics, life experiences and health are related to emotional regulation using fMRI and facial EMG.
Lauren coordinates participant recruitment with other project sites, runs experimental sessions and processes and analyzes data that will help us better understand emotion, the brain's response to positive and negative events and well-being.
