About
My core interests lie in understanding how children and adolescents perceive and interpret social signals and how emerging functional specificity of the developing brain supports this process. My approach primarily involves using the face processing system as a model domain. Faces are dynamic stimuli from which we extract many different kinds of information (e.g., gender, age, emotional state, mate potential, social status, trustworthiness, intentions, “person knowledge”). All of these processes must be executed accurately and rapidly for many faces over the course of a single day, making face processing among the most taxing perceptual challenges confronted by people in their day-to-day life. Given that faces are also the pre-eminent social signal, studying developmental changes in the behavioral and brain basis of face processing in typically developing individuals and in those affected by social-emotional disorders may index a core set of developmental changes within the broader social information processing system. I employ converging methodologies, including functional (fMRI) and structural magnetic resonance, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) along with detailed behavioral paradigms in both typically developing populations and those with developmental disorders to examine development from early childhood to adulthood.

About
Initially trained as a Cognitive Psychologist with expertise on conscious versus unconscious influences on performance, Steve has more recently become a strong proponent of preventative mental health efforts. During the pandemic Steve created a free online course at Coursera.org entitled Understanding and Managing the Anxiety of COVID 19, a course that has over 180,000 registered students. That lead him to then created more specialized courses, one supporting Police Officers and another supporting Health Care Workers, providing each with a better understanding of the stressors associated with their chosen work, and giving them tips and strategies for managing their mental health. Since then Steve has become a common media commentator around preventative mental health, and has begun supporting both not for profits (The GenWell Initiative) and commercial entities (OOt Social) to bring mental health support to corporations, students, and the general public.

Example ophthalmology projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on ophthalmology?

Development of Innovative Eye Medications

An Ophthalmology expert can collaborate with a pharmaceutical company to develop new and improved medications for various eye conditions. Their expertise in ocular pharmacology and drug delivery systems can help optimize drug formulations, enhance bioavailability, and improve patient compliance.

Advancement of Surgical Techniques

Collaborating with an Ophthalmology researcher can lead to advancements in surgical techniques for eye surgeries. Their knowledge of ocular anatomy, surgical instruments, and innovative approaches can help improve surgical outcomes, minimize complications, and reduce recovery time for patients.

Development of Diagnostic Tools

Companies can benefit from partnering with Ophthalmology experts to develop advanced diagnostic tools for eye diseases. Their expertise in imaging technologies, biomarkers, and data analysis can contribute to the creation of accurate and efficient diagnostic devices, enabling early detection and personalized treatment plans.

Clinical Trials and Regulatory Support

Ophthalmology researchers can provide valuable support in conducting clinical trials and navigating regulatory processes. Their understanding of the specific requirements and guidelines in ophthalmic research can help companies design robust clinical trials, collect reliable data, and ensure compliance with regulatory authorities.

Improvement of Patient Care and Education

Collaboration with Ophthalmology experts can lead to the development of innovative approaches to patient care and education. Their knowledge of disease management, patient counseling, and telemedicine can help companies create effective tools and resources to improve patient outcomes, enhance accessibility to eye care, and promote awareness about eye health.
