Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Morgan S. Middlebrooks' research investigates the neural correlates of anxiety and related psychological constructs. Their work has utilized electroencephalography (EEG) to examine evoked potentials, such as the late positive potential, in relation to symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety. Middlebrooks has explored how factors like anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty, emotion dysregulation, and social interpretation bias are associated with these neural responses.

Additional research has focused on the impact of emotionally-charged stimuli on cognitive processing and the indirect effects of threat processing on worry. Middlebrooks has also examined the role of sleep hygiene in the comorbidity of generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder symptoms within an undergraduate sample. Their scholarship includes collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom they have co-authored multiple publications.
