Dr. Egan graduated from The State University of New York at Binghamton with a B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy before completing her Ph.D. in Biopsychology and Behavioral Neuroscience at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. In the Cognition, Affect, and Psychophysiology (CAP) Lab, she uses peripheral (heart rate, skin conductance) and neural (electroencephalography or EEG) measures to investigate the biobehavioral processes underlying the interplay of emotion and cognition. Her current research projects focus on the processing of ambiguous emotional expressions and the impact of positive emotions on behavior. She teaches both core courses (statistics and experimental) as well as other topics (psychobiology and development).
