About Us

Welcome to the Cognition, Emotion, and Life Experiences (CEL) Lab

What we do: 

The CEL Lab uses a variety of methods to characterize and better understand suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury behavior

We use EMA, psychophysiology, eye tracking, fMRI, and analysis of speech among other methods to build a more comprehensive understanding of these behaviors

Our mission: 

We aim to add to the existing scientific understanding of suicidal behaviors and, in turn, help inform and develop novel suicide prevention strategies

In using a multi-method approach, we hope to develop comprehensive and experience based understanding of suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury behaviors in order to best help those affected
