Areas of Research
Dr. Oliver’s research examines the neural circuitry and behavioural correlates of social cognitive processing and functioning in psychiatric, neurological, and non-clinical populations. Her research program focuses on identifying and targeting biomarkers of social cognitive deficits, with the goal of informing and evaluating treatment options to support clinical translation and improve patient outcomes. Much of Dr. Oliver's work has focused on functional brain imaging (fMRI), cognitive, and clinical data across people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and healthy individuals, including dimensional and multivariate analyses of brain-behaviour relationships. She is also involved in research examining transdiagnostic multimodal brain metrics and cognitive abilities, precision fMRI in psychosis, and individually targeted brain stimulation for social cognitive impairments.
