Stephan F. Taylor is the Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Daniel E. Offutt III Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Michign Medical School. He is also a faculty associate in Psychology at the University of Michigan. His work focuses on psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder), and he uses brain mapping technologies (functional MRI, MRS, event related potentials, positron emission tomography) to understand and treat the pathophysiology of these conditions. His work has also investigated processes and neurocircuits relevant to these diseases, such as the brain systems which underlie emotion, performance monitoring, and cognitive-emotional interactions. In addition, he uses brain stimulation technologies (transcranial magnetic stimulation, deep brain stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation) to target and treat neurocircuits relevant to psychiatric conditions. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology. He is a past present of the Psychiatric Research Society.
