Dr. Hare is a neuroscientist using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analyses as a window to understand how brain excitability becomes altered in schizophrenia with a specialization in investigating networks underlying hallucinations. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge tool that can be used to normalize neural circuit function and may provide a new window to better understand altered brain excitability in schizophrenia and its relationship to symptoms. Dr. Hare is interested in combining TMS and fMRI approaches to better understand cognitive impairments, a historically underserved treatment target in the field of schizophrenia research. Given her training in ethics, Dr. Hare also has widepread interests in the ethical, legal and social implications of neuroscience technologies including fMRI, TMS and artificial intelligence/machine learning.
