The Neuropsychology, Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience (NCCN) lab led by Dr. Bruce J. Diamond examines brain, behavior and underlying physiological correlates (EEG and autonomic) in order to better understand neurologic, neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders as well as to develop rehabilitation strategies and techniques. The NCCN Lab examines memory, executive function, information processing, depression, anxiety, language processing in the bilingual brain, psychopharmacology, mindfulness meditation and virtual reality in neurotypical and in diverse clinical populations across the developmental spectrum including brain injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke, autism, chronic fatigue and forensic populations.

Research manuscripts have encompassed an equally diverse range of areas including: depression/anxiety, memory, information processing, meditation, priming, unaware memory, alternative medicine, working memory, information technology, telerehabilitation, eyeblink conditioning, autism and rehabilitation, fMRI, stroke, brain injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, aging, amnesia, prosopagnosia, processing in the bilingual brain, psychopharmacology, transcranial magnetic brain stimulation and heart rate variability.
William Paterson University’s doctor of psychology (PsyD) program in clinical psychology is a practitioner-scholar oriented program. The PsyD program is a full-time, five-year training program that integrates academic coursework, supervised clinical training, and research experience at every stage of the student’s progress. A distinguished faculty of active scholars and practitioners leads the program. Students may obtain a master’s in clinical and counseling psychology en route to the PsyD degree.When you enroll in the PsyD program, you will study in a small community of peers and mentors. Faculty who have diverse interests in both clinical practice and research will support your training in evidence-based assessment and intervention. The program offers individualized attention and state-of-the-art facilities.
