Department Colloquium Wednesday, November 2nd at 12:00 p.m. 1243 BPS

The Department of Psychology is extremely excited to announce that Dr.
Kent Kiehl from the University of New Mexico will be speaking at the
Departmental colloquium on "The Cognitive Neuroscience of Criminal
Psychopaths."

Dr. Kiehl’s research focuses on understanding the clinical neuroscience
of major mental illnesses, with special emphasis on criminal
psychopathy, substance abuse, and psychotic disorders. He utilizes
non-invasive techniques for measuring brain function, including
event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance
imagining (fMRI) to elucidate the abnormal functional processes believed
to underlie these clinical disorders. His research is critical in
understanding how psychological and/or pharmacological treatment
modulates these neural processes in order to effectively diagnose and
treat these clinical conditions.

After his talk, on Wednesday, November 2nd, we have planned for faculty
and graduate students to meet with Dr. Kiehl at 2:00 p.m. Further, on
Thursday November 3rd at 10:00 a.m., a panel discussion with graduate
students and faculty will be organized around the theme of Dr. Kiehl’s
talk and research interests.

We anticipate that the colloquium will be attended by our faculty, post
docs, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Please pass this
information along to your colleagues, graduate students, and
undergraduate students who you consider might be interested and benefit
from this talk.
