Led by Dr. Samantha Fede and housed in Auburn University Psychological Sciences, the SCAMPI Research Lab uses fMRI and other cognitive neuroscience techniques to understand social, affective, and moral decision making in the brain. Dr. Fede has a special interest in how these neural processes relate to problem behaviors and psychopathology, such as substance use and criminal behavior. The lab currently has funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIAAA) and the John Templeton Foundation.
Dr. Fede plans to accept a graduate student (CaBS PhD) to start in Fall 2025
