Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory

The Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory is located in Williams Hall. The lab is under the direction of David W. Harrison, Ph.D. He is a faculty member in the Clinical Program and director of neuropsychological services at Lewis Gale Medical Center Rehabilitation. In addition to maintaining the lab, he also oversees a Clinical Neuropsychology Practicum Team at the Psychological Services Center (PSC).

A functional cerebral systems approach is used to establish brain-behavior relationships. Research in the lab uses a variety of neuropsychological and psychophysiological methods, including quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), electro-oculography (EOG), electromyography (EMG), cardiovascular, glucose, blood assays, behavioral measures, and others. At the PSC, students are trained in neuropsychological assessment and therapies based on an integration of standardized testing, psychophysiological assessment, and syndrome analysis techniques. 

A variety of opportunities are available for graduate and undergraduate students. Use the links at the left to learn more about our research.
