Assistant Professor, McMaster University
Geoffrey Hall is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University, specializing in neuroimaging. He holds a PhD in Medical Sciences from McMaster and MSc in Human Biology from the University of Guelph.
Dr. Hall’s research interests lie in affective and cognitive neuroscience relative to neurodevelopmental disorders and psychopathology. He uses PET, functional MRI, and EEG to understand better the neural circuitry underlying emotion processing, reward/punishment appraisal, memory and social cognition. His work in child development consists of exploring the neurological underpinnings of emotion, shared attention, affective signalling, emotion regulation, multimodal integration and symbol formation.
Dr. Hall is a member of the Society for Neuroscience and a member of the Steering Committee for the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind. He is also a member of McMaster’s Brain-Body Institute and the Father Sean O’Sullivan Research Centre.
