#Pain, Consciousness & Neurosychopharmacology<\/a>. He has also completed a clinical research fellowship at Guy\u2019s and St Thomas\u2019 Pain Management and Neuromodulation Centre in London.<\/p>\nDr. Sharon’s work focuses on research into what builds the subjective experience of the self in health and disease. He is especially interested in altered states of consciousness, neuropsychopharmacology and the neurobiology of pain, and explores methods that can rapidly change this aversive experience in a noninvasive, brain-focused and patient-tailored manner. To that aim he combines advanced functional brain imaging techniques, psychoactive pharmacotherapy, noninvasive brain stimulation and brain modulation approaches in healthy individuals and patients.<\/p>\n
