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. |  |
| Tali Manber is a full time research assistant with the CAAN team. She is interested in exploring and understanding connections between biology (e.g., neural activity, genetics, endocrine activity, etc) and behavior. Her ultimate goal is to use those biology behavior links to better understand and treat psychopathology (e.g., anxiety disorders and depression). |  |
| 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. |  |
| Danielle Spoor is a Junior at Stanford University. She is majoring in Human Biology with a focus in Infectious Disease, and is also getting a minor in Spanish. She loves to visit her hometown of Gualala and play on the beach with her dog Charlie. Unlike Max, Danielle is a vegetarian. She is also a tour guide, so make sure to come to her Stanford tours on Saturday mornings! |  |
| Vibha Mishra is a undergraduate student at Kenyon College in Ohio. She is double majoring in Neuroscience and Women's Studies and is interested in exploring the biological basis of altruism and behavior. She hopes to one day provide psychological and medical treatment for underprivileged women. |  |
| Joel Finkelstein is a father, husband, a Senior in Neuroscience at UCSC, the associate director of Stanford's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and fortuitously, an insomniac. His primary interest is in researching compassion and its neurological correlates and exploring the strategic case for compassion in secular institutions. Joel was employed at Google for two and a half years, where he helped create a meditation course, build a hospital in India and make much mischief. |  |
| Hooria Bittlingmayer 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). |  |
