Sherain Harricharan

Sherain Harricharan, PhD, completed her doctoral degree in neuroscience at Western University, in Ontario, Canada, and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical psychology at McMaster University. Dr. Harricharan’s research focuses on posttraumatic stress disorder, employing various neuroimaging approaches to study altered neural circuitry patterns among traumatized individuals. Her interests include how sensory processing pathways in the brain are altered as a function of trauma and dissociation, with an emphasis on the influence sensory input can have in shaping higher-order cognitive functioning in trauma, including emotion regulation, social cognition, and attentional processing. Dr. Harricharan has published peer-reviewed articles and presented her work at numerous international conferences.
