Bio

Dr. Bomyea’s research seeks to understand the link between aspects of cognitive functioning (e.g., cognitive biases, executive functioning) and PTSD and related conditions.

In addition, she studies novel interventions for these disorders with the goals of translating cognitive science principles to new treatment approaches and delineating the processes of change during treatment.

She is currently examining the neurobiological characteristics of individuals with PTSD and/or TBI, and the efficacy and neural substrates of cognitive interventions for individuals who tend to worry and ruminate.
