Dr. Philip Deming is a postdoctoral fellow supported by an F32 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health working with Drs. Karen Quigley, Jordan Theriault, and Lisa Feldman Barrett. He earned his Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with Dr. Michael Koenigs. Dr. Deming examines interactions between the human brain and body that give rise to emotion in both non-clinical and clinical populations. In particular, his work examines psychopathy, a personality disorder that is marked by fleeting and shallow emotions and that is a significant risk factor for criminal behavior. His research examines brain-body interactions using neuroimaging (including standard and ultra-high field fMRI) as well as in-lab and ambulatory measures of physiology (e.g., electrocardiography and skin conductance). Dr. Deming’s research also characterizes the variability of emotional experience using experience sampling and computational approaches.
