Aislinn Sandre, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Western University. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from McGill University and completed her postdoctoral training at Teachers College, Columbia University. Dr. Sandre’s research focuses on identifying developmental pathways to psychopathology by studying how the brain processes affective information. She is particularly interested in how these processes develop over time, how differences emerge through family and environmental influences, and how these differences increase risk for psychopathology. Another area of interest involves exploring the extent to which interventions targeting family and environmental factors (e.g., stress reduction) can modify affective processing to reduce risk for psychopathology. Dr. Sandre primarily uses ERPs/EEG to measure neural responses to affective stimuli (e.g., emotional faces, rewards, and threats) across the lifespan, including in infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Her work also incorporates laboratory-based tasks, structured diagnostic interviews, and observational measures of parent-child interactions and affective functioning.
