James Gross, Ph. D. is Associate Professor of Psychology at Stanford and Director of the Stanford Psychophysiology Laboratory. His research focuses on emotion and emotion regulation, and this research employs both experimental and individual-difference methods. Research in the Stanford Psychophysiology Laboratory takes a multi-method approach, and includes measures of emotion experience, expressive behavior, autonomic physiology,and brain activation.

Philippe Goldin, Ph. D. Philippe completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Rutgers University, Clinical Psychology Internship at the UC San Diego / San Diego VA consortium, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University.  His clinical research focuses on (a) functional neuroimaging investigations of cognitive affective mechanisms in both healthy adults and in individuals with various forms of psychopathology, (b) the effect of mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy on neural substrates of emotional reactivity, emotion regulation, and attention regulation, and (c) the effect of child-parent mindfulness meditation training on anxiety, compassion, and quality of family interactions.

Kelly Werner, Ph. D. completed her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, Clinical Psychology Internship at the Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. Kelly focuses on investigating the neural correlates of emotional and empathic processing in neurological and psychiatric populations. Furthermore, she is interested in understanding the influence of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness meditation on the neural substrates of emotional processing in patients with social anxiety disorder.

Michal Ziv is a full time research assistant at the CAAN lab. She is interested in understanding the neural basis of personality differences, especially in anxiety related processes, and finds the possibility of investigating brain-behavioral mechanisms that might be affected by therapeutic interventions fascinating. In addition to her work at the lab, she is completing her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Haifa in Israel, where she is examining the behavioral and neural correlates of individual differences in expectancy processes and their effect on the subjective experience of pain.

Max Hare is an undergraduate at Stanford University, by way of Deep Springs College. He currently has no degrees, prestigious awards, or published papers to his name, but is looking to gain respect and friendships before he worries about any of that. He is interested in human behavior, neurobiology, and you. If he wasn't at beautiful Stanford University, he'd probably be living on an isolated ranch somewhere, baking bread and building dairy barns. Max's only bragging right: he can turn a cow into a tasty, well-cooked steak in half a day. You may not think that's impressive, but he does. Max
Hooria Jazaieri is a part time research assistant at the CAAN Lab and is a graduate student in Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University. She studied Psychology and Political Science at the University of Washington. Hooria is interested in looking at how functional neuroimaging is used to better understand the effects of emotion regulation and brain functioning through Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

Vibha Mishra is a junior at Kenyon College in Ohio. She is majoring in Psychology and minoring in Women's Studies, and is interested in exploring the biological basis of altruism and behavior.  She hopes to become a psychologist who focuses on treating underprivileged women.  She loves singing, playing her ukulele, writing, community service, and collecting anything related to butterflies!
Alice Wang is a member of the Stanford class of 2010, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Studio Art. She is interested in humans in general, which is why it is nice to learn about everything from how brains work to how people relate to each other. Alice
