and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, working with Prof. Tania Singer.
He received his Ph.D. in Neurological Sciences from the
University of Montreal in 2011 under the supervision of Prof.

Zen meditation on behavioral, neurophysiological, and
experiential indices of pain perception. At the MPI, Joshua is
continuing his studies about meditation and pain working with
both advanced Tibetan meditators and newly trained individuals.
He is also investigating the role of the endogenous opioid system
in affiliation and attachment scenarios using a combination of
measures from brain imaging to pharmacology and genetics.
