The main area of Dr. Borod’s program of research investigates brain mechanisms underlying the neuropsychological processing of emotion from a multidimensional perspective. Her research examines emotional expression, perception, and experience across multiple communication channels (e.g., facial, prosodic/intonational, and lexical/verbal). Her work, to date, has made contributions to neuropsychological theory on emotional processing and to the clinical assessment of emotional deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders. The basic premise of our work is that emotion involves various components that utilize different brain systems. Our goal has been to work towards developing a comprehensive neuropsychological model of emotional processing.
