Dr. Choi digs into the psychopaths brain, literally. He examines how their brain reacts and thinks compared to an average brain, hoping that we do our part to guide the psychopaths to a better life. Dr. Choi is an assistant professor in the public psychiatry division of Oregon Health & Science University, and director of the Forensic Evaluation Service at the Oregon State Hospital. He graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor of science in a self-designed major of computational neuroscience. He received his medical and doctorate degrees under the federally funded Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of California, San Diego. His doctorate in neurosciences was awarded for work on the molecular mechanisms of visual system development in the lab of Dennis
O'Leary at the Salk Institute. Dr. Choi completed psychiatry residency at UCLA-Neuropsychiatric Institute, and a fellowship in forensic psychiatry at University of Pennsylvania. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
