The work of the Neurocognitive Therapies and Translational Research (NTTR) Special Interest Group (SIG) members falls into one or more of the following interconnected areas:

• Understanding the mechanisms of a) psychiatric disorders and/or b) interventions
• Prediction, i.e., neuroprediction and/or treatment allocation
• Direct intervention through a) development of neuroscience informed cognitive interventions and/or b) augmentation of existing interventions

Our group's mission is to bridge the gap between basic and applied science in understanding the nature and treatment of psychiatric disorders. We are committed to multidisciplinary research and the application of cognitive and affective neuroscience to improve the conceptualization and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.  Researchers and practitioners in this SIG apply brain imaging, physiological indices of emotion, cognitive enhancement strategies, neuropsychological and cognitive training, and related techniques as tools for increasing our understanding of anxiety, depression, addictions, schizophrenia, ADHD, and other disorders.
