Student Spotlight: Jaisal Merchant

Congratulations, Jaisal!

Jaisal has developed a compelling set of studies on how social interest and motivation are–and are not–disrupted among individuals with schizophrenia. She has published multiple first- author papers using a range of data types, including behavioral tasks that measure response to rewards (both monetary and social), brain imaging using functional magnetic resonance imaging, and ecological momentary assessment, a method that assesses people’s daily experiences in their everyday lives.
