My training is in neuroscience, specifically the amygdala and hypothalamus, circadian rhythms and the autonomic nervous system.  I did postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Chicago, New York University, and University of Pittsburgh.  My neuroscience papers have been cited in over 3,700 publications. 

Over time, I became interested in Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM).  I  have taught Mind-Body Medicine and CAM courses to undergraduates and medical students.  My CAM research publications span a number of topics including energy healing, consciousness, herbal medicine, CAM use, and Tai Chi.  I completed  training in Healing Touch, an energy healing therapy, with experience as a healing practitioner.  I have presented my energy healing research at conferences and classes, including the International Society for Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSEEM), the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE), the U.S. Psychotronic Association, and the Parapsychological Foundation.
