Nicholas Harp

Nick is interested in the links between mind-body wellness and affective experience. For instance, he has studied how physical activity and mindfulness-based interventions relate to affective bias, and he is interested in further exploring how physical activity or mindfulness interventions might reduce craving or negative affect in substance use disorders. He is also interested in the brain basis underlying such effects. For instance, he is currently using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine patterns of brain activity associated with clinically relevant outcomes (e.g., relapse in substance use disorders) in the service of improving treatments.
