Dr. Krakowski’s research has focused on violent behavior, antisocial traits, and impulsivity in patients with schizophrenia. His research includes the study of clinical symptoms and psychological traits, neurological and neuropsychological deficits, as well as neurophysiological deficits – both ERP studies and functional imaging. This research has also included comparisons of various pharmacological treatments for violent and impulsive behaviors in schizophrenia.
