Jonathan Wynn earned his Bachelors of Arts in Psychobiology from Occidental College and his Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from the University of Southern California in 2002. He subsequently studied electrophysiology and social cognition in schizophrenia during a three-year post-doctoral fellowship at UCLA in Dr. Michael Green’s lab, where he has since remained. His research interests focus on early sensory processing, neuroplasticity, and social cognition in people with serious mental illness, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and, more recently, in homeless Veterans with and without psychosis. He utilizes electrophysiology (EEG, ERP), neuroimaging (fMRI), and psychophysiology (startle, HR) methodologies in his work. Dr. Wynn has received funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs, NARSAD (now the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation), and the Stanley Medical Research Institute. He has authored articles in journals such as The American Journal of Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, and Schizophrenia Bulletin. Dr. Wynn is a member of the Society for Research in Psychopathology.
