Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Morgan Middlebrooks' research investigates the neurocognitive correlates of anxiety and related disorders. Their work utilizes electroencephalography (EEG) to examine neural responses to emotional stimuli, such as anxious arousal pictures, and their association with social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder symptoms. Middlebrooks has explored how factors like emotion dysregulation, contrast avoidance, and intolerance of uncertainty contribute to worry and threat processing. Further research has examined the impact of emotionally-charged images on downstream cognitive processing and the relationship between media multitasking habits and cognitive control. Additionally, Middlebrooks has investigated the role of sleep hygiene in the comorbidity of generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder symptoms within an undergraduate sample. Their scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with 10 total publications and 16 total citations.
