The PLAN Lab is currently considering Masters and PhD applications for the 2023-24 application season.
Mission
Welcome to the University of Tulsa Psychophysiology Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience. The laboratory is directed by Jamie Rhudy, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist, and professor in the TU Department of Psychology. Research in the laboratory broadly spans affective neuroscience, with a specific focus on the interface of emotion and pain processing. The laboratory uses various psychophysiological assessment techniques (e.g., electromyography, skin conductance, electrocardiography, electroencephalography) to assess pain, nociceptive responding, and other potentially related reactions (e.g., startle response). This research aims to identify mechanisms that contribute to and/or maintain chronic pain conditions and develop non-invasive methods for assessing individuals at risk of developing chronic pain.
