Dr. Marci’s academic research projects include the physiology and neurobiology of emotion and empathy as well as the creation of physiologic and behavioral measures of depression. His academic goals are to quantify the relationship between physiologic measures, emotions, and social interaction in a variety of settings to help improve our understanding of the psychobiology of empathy, learning, and human inter-relatedness in a world that is rapidly evolving with technology and media exposure. His entrepreneurial experience includes two former technology start-ups, one in healthcare information technology and one in remote sensing technology. Innerscope Research was a leading consumer neuroscience media and marketing research firm integrating technologies and applied sciences to allow clients to make better business decisions.
