This website provides copies of my publications and reviews of my book: Addiction: A disorder of choice.
I teach three courses at Boston College: Introduction to Brain, Mind, & Behavior, Experimental Psychology Research Lab, and Addiction, Choice, & Motivation.
My current addiction research uses large, publicly available data sets to evaluate the efficacy of treatment and the social-economic predictors of drug overdose deaths. My current lab research uses a mathematical model to infer the allocation of covert visual attention. Some representative recent papers are listed below, or click on Publications 2000 to Current.
Is it constitutional for a judge to require a drug addict to stop using drugs (2017)? See blog summary and Penn Law School paper.
Addicts pass two empirical tests of free-will (2017) See blog summary and journal article.
A behavioral choice rule for the mind: How pigeons allocate pecks predicts how humans allocate covert attention (2016 and 2020).
A brief biography and my CV are on the “Vita” page.
