J. Michael Maurer, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow

Dr. Maurer is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Kent Kiehl at the Mind Research Network. He uses neuroimaging techniques, including event-related potentials (ERPs), structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (s/fMRI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to better understand attentional, affective, and cognitive control deficits in individuals with elevated psychopathic traits and those meeting criteria for substance use disorders. Additionally, Dr. Maurer uses information gathered from neuroimaging techniques and clinical assessments to help predict various outcomes using machine learning, including substance use treatment completion, recidivism, and substance use relapse.
