His research interests also include Social Cognitive Neuroscience, Neural Bases of Automatic and Controlled Social Cognition & Affect and Neural Bases of Personality. Social cognitive neuroscience focuses on how the human brain carries out social information processing. Lieberman uses functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and neuropsychology to test new hypotheses regarding social cognition.[6] Lieberman is the founding editor of the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.[7] In 2007, he won the APA Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology.[8] In 2011 he was the recipient of UCLA Gold Shield Faculty Prize [9] Lieberman's work has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, National Science Foundation, Guggenheim Foundation, DARPA,[10] and the Office of Naval Research.[11]
