Broadly, Robin is interested in 1) Clinical Neuroscience; 2) Neural Basis of Human Decision Making; 3) Neurobiological Basis of Stress Reactivity and Resilience; 4) Brain Plasticity and 5) Brain Mechanisms of Loneliness. He is particularly interested in the brain alterations in clinically significant affective issues such as major depressive disorder, as well as the neural basis of individual differences in stress resilience, risk-taking tendency, and impulsivity. He also looks at brain structural and functional plasticity induced by various non-pharmacological interventions such as meditation, cognitive training, neuromodulation, and exercise.
