Eric Andrews

Graduate Student, Cognition & Neural Systems
Faculty Advisors: Jessica Andrews-Hanna & John Allen

I am a Ph.D. student in the CNS program. Prior to starting the program at U of A, I worked as a research assistant at both Dartmouth college and the University of Denver. With those labs, I worked on projects that involved reappraisal aspects of emotion regulation, interoception, the appeal of affective imagery, and the use of machine-learning methods to predict behavioral and neural reaction from sparse sets of response data.

I was a graduate of the University of NH where I received my B.A. in Psychology and my M.A. in Counseling. I have been working as a psychotherapist in private practice since 2008 and maintain a small client base helping individuals with anxiety and trauma-related disorders.

Research Interests:

  • The use of experimental and computational approaches to inform, develop, and
    evaluate flexible and accessible online mental health tools (including mobile
    applications) for both individuals and treatment providers. The goal being
    increased efficacy of psychological intervention and treatment by addressing
    individual differences in disorder, individual potentials for well-being, and early
    diagnosis.
  • The use of psychophysiological and neuroimaging techniques to deepen our
    understanding of the neural underpinnings of affective/cognitive interactions and
    how these relationships might constrain psychological treatment outcomes.
