Patrick Bellgowan Ph.D., Receives Grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research

LIBR investigator and Director of Cognitive Neuroscience, Patrick Bellgowan Ph.D., receives a four year grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The purpose of awarded study is to investigate the neurobiological substrates of trust behaviors, particularly as they relate to cyberspace. Understanding the neurobiology of cybertrust will accelerate and enhance the development of precautionary and remedial methods for online risks. Using an investigational cyberspace simulation platform, the proposed effort combines a novel multivariate neuroimaging approach with behavioral and biological markers to build a multimodal non-fMRI biomarker of cyber trust propensity. The multivariate neuroimaging methods developed in this protocol will aid in future analyses of neuroimaging data in mood disorders studies.
