Ralph Adolphs (PhD '93)

Adolphs works with a variety of tools, including fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), eye tracking, and recording electrical activity in the brain to see how people recognize, perceive, and process emotions and other social cues in facial expressions. He studies individuals with various neurological profiles, including those with focal brain damage, autism, Williams syndrome, and neurosurgical patients who have electrodes in their brains.
