About Me
I work in neuroimaging and behavioral research in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm interested in bringing updated information to Wikipedia concerning the newest findings in the fields of neuroscience, behavioral genetics, and psychology.

Broadly defined, positive neuroscience is the study of what the brain does well. Instead of studying mental illness, positive neuroscientists focus on highly valued cognitive qualities that serve to enrich life. Topics in positive neuroscience overlap heavily with those of Positive Psychology, but use neuroimaging techniques to extend beyond the behavioral level and explain the neurobiology which underpins "positive" cognitive phenomena such as intelligence, creativity, optimism, and healthy aging.
