Dr. Tim Salomons's research examines the neural mechanisms through which cognition and emotion alter the experience of pain. He is particularly interested in individual differences in the ability to cope with pain and how the mechanisms that underlie these differences can be altered using neurostimulation or psychotherapeutic interventions. He obtained his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, working in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Davidson. Dr. Salomons completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Toronto Western Research Institute with Dr. Karen Davis and is now a Research Scientist in the Department of Psychiatry at the University Health Network in Toronto.
