Falk received a Sc.B. in neuroscience from Brown University, an M.A. in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles.[4] Falk was an assistant professor of communication at the University of Michigan and a faculty associate of the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research,[5] before her appointment at the University of Pennsylvania.
Falk directs the Communication Neuroscience Lab, a research laboratory that takes an interdisciplinary communication neuroscience approach to link neural activity to individual, group, and population behaviors.[6] Specific research lines include predicting behavior change (including changes in sunscreen use,[7] tobacco smoking, [8][9] and sedentary behavior[10]) following exposure to persuasive messages. Another line of research links neural responses to health messages to population level behavioral outcomes.[11][12]
