Habib Cognition Lab
Graduate students, undergraduate researchers, and collaborators working at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and behavioral addiction.
Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Doctoral training at the University of Toronto under Endel Tulving. Postdoctoral Fellow, Rotman Research Institute. Research focuses on memory, impulsivity, decision-making, and pathological gambling.
We are actively recruiting PhD students interested in the neuroscience of gambling disorder, memory, or impulsivity. Strong candidates will have experience with neuroimaging or behavioral research methods.
We welcome Master's students with interests in cognitive psychology, behavioral neuroscience, or clinical applications of addiction research. Funding may be available for strong applicants.
Motivated undergraduates can gain hands-on experience with neuroimaging data analysis, participant recruitment, and behavioral task design. Ideal for students considering graduate school in cognitive neuroscience.
Collaborations on near-miss effects, loss chasing, and the cognitive psychology of gambling.
Long-term collaboration on slot machine near-misses and the cognitive illusions sustaining problem gambling.
Collaborative work on memory encoding, retrieval, and aging using PET and fMRI.
Doctoral advisor and originator of the episodic/semantic memory distinction. Foundational influence on the lab's memory research program.
