http://faculty.nipissingu.ca/darrenc/The Neuroimaging Interpersonal Connections via E-communication/Neuroimaging Information-processing Cannabis Effects (NICE) lab focuses on two key research areas: the human relationship formation process and chronic cannabis use effects in humans. Their research on the acquaintanceship process includes investigating online communication and social evaluation and utilizes functional MRI brain imaging. They are also interested in the "get-to-know-you" process tat occurs online and how people display interest or disinterest within online conversations. Their cannabis research primarily targets spatial memory functions, emotional attention bias, and functional brain imaging responses in chronic cannabis users.
