Research interests

Dr. Good's research focuses on the sense of smell in psychiatric and neurological disorders, and in particular how olfactory deficits may inform on outcome in these disorders.  As well, her lab has been investigating the link between substance misuse and psychotic disorders. Her interest is in examining the role of motivation and expectancy on craving in smokers and non-smokers with and without schizophrenia. Using FMRI, she is examining the neural changes that occur when subjects are presented with smoking-related visual images.
