Kent Kiehl

Kent A. Kiehl is a neuroscientist with research interests in cognitive neuroscience, psychopathy, interaction of neuroscience and law, and behavioral prediction. He is professor at the department of psychology, University of New Mexico.[1]. Dr. Kiehl completed his undergraduate degree at the University of California-Davis and received his doctorate in 2000 from the University of British Columbia under the tutelage of Drs. Robert Hare and Peter Liddle. Dr. Kiehl has published over 200 peer-review papers and has received numerous awards, including the Distinguished Early Career Award from the Society for Psychophysiology.

Dr. Kiehl uses brain imaging techniques to investigate mental illnesses, in particular, criminal psychopathy, psychotic disorders (i.e., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, affective disorders), traumatic brain injury, substance abuse and paraphilias.[2]

The laboratory Mind Research Network headed by Kiehl collected the world largest sample of brain scans of incarcerated people using a mobile MRI scanner.[3][4] They also started collecting brain scan of people in contact sports to study effect of contact sports on brain ("Brain Safe Project"). [5]

gollark: I implemented the "code to compute the sierpinski index of a point" from this paper (https://www2.isye.gatech.edu/~jjb/research/mow/mow.pdf) and used it to sort points, and it generates nice space-filling curve things for arbitrary widths.
