Henry Yoon, Ph.D. facilitates the Biopsychology Major at Augsburg University and heads the Augsburg Biopsychology Lab. His research involves using electrophysiological techniques (e.g., EEG, event-related potentials, time-frequency components) to investigate brain correlates associated with externalizing spectrum disorders which are characterized by the inability to inhibit socially inappropriate and even proscribed behaviors (e.g., substance addiction, antisocial behaviors). Towards this end, he works collaboratively with the StepUP program at Augsburg University and the University of Minnesota\u2019s Department of Psychology.<\/p>\n

His teaching philosophy and agenda continue to be shaped by this focus on interdisciplinary research as he aims to help students think \u201cpsychologically\u201d. To him, thinking psychologically involves a problem-solving approach that uses multidisciplinary strategies to tackle complex questions. This approach is relevant for a field in which the psychological concepts under investigation can often be defined in numerous ways, and in which research outcomes require on-going scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Overall, his goals are to help students become better lifetime consumers of scientific information and help those who plan on pursuing advanced degrees in psychology adapt quickly to the punctuated shifts common in the scientific landscape by providing guidance and research opportunities.<\/p>\n
