Greg Siegle, Ph.D.

For the past two decades, Dr. Siegle has directed the Program in Cognitive Affective Neuroscience (PICAN) at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pittsburgh, where he has been since his graduate work at UCSD/SDSU. His research examines neural mechanisms of emotional and cognitive information processing in disorders of emotion, trauma, and information processing, how this information can be used to predict response to treatment, and to guide novel treatment development. He works to translate cognitive and emotional neuroscience for use in the real world. Dr. Siegle has over 195 peer reviewed publications, and has been continuously funded by NIH and foundation awards throughout his career. Dr. Siegle directs the neuroimaging project for the ACE, which is devoted to understanding mechanisms associated with having internal emotional reactions which are difficult for autistic people to regulate and yet, are not perceived by observers.
