The research conducted in the Neuroscience of Emotion and Thought (NET) Lab, directed by Dr. Jessica Andrews-Hanna at the University of Arizona, is centered on understanding the mysteries of our inner mental lives – the thoughts, memories,
feelings and emotions that make us unique as individuals. We explore these
topics across levels of brain and behavior, drawing on techniques including
functional MRI, psychophysiology, and mobile experience sampling in daily
life. We study internally-guided cognition in young and older adults, and
in healthy individuals as well as those suffering from mental health
challenges. Ultimately, we hope our research might help people
harness the beneficial aspects of internally-guided cognition
and live happier, healthier lives.
