Welcome!

Hi, I am Caleb Jerinic-Brodeur, a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Psychology (Cognition, Perception, & Brain area) at the University of Texas at Austin, where I work under the mentorship of Dr. Jarrod Lewis-Peacock. Prior to UT Austin, I earned a B.S. in Psychological Science from Arizona State University and conducted research under the mentorship of Dr. Gene Brewer.

I am a cognitive and affective neuroscientist conducting research at the intersection of memory and cognitive control. I study how individuals intentionally control unwanted emotional memories, why memory control fails, and how we can improve the ability to regulate unwanted emotional experiences. I use a combination of novel behavioral paradigms, functional neuroimaging, machine learning, and closed-loop neurofeedback to accomplish these goals. I conduct basic science research, but am strongly motivated by the translational potential of my research and its potential to improve mental health.

In my free time, I enjoy going to concerts, spending time outdoors, collecting vinyl, and reading thriller novels.
