Brain Development, Emotion, and Social Cognition

Brain Development, Emotion, and Social Cognition

We investigate the neural mechanisms underlying brain development, emotion, and social cognition in children and adolescents. By integrating neuroimaging, genetic and epigenetic information, and behavioral data, we analyze the characteristics of parenting environments and neurodevelopmental disorders, extending these findings to diagnostic research and digital interventions.

Brain Imaging Decoding and Whole-Brain Functional Circuits

Brain Imaging Decoding and Whole-Brain Functional Circuits

We decode brain imaging patterns to understand cognition and emotion and develop biomarkers for brain disorders. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), optogenetics, and chemogenetics in animal models, we investigate whole-brain circuits and the relationship between neural activity and vascular responses, extending these findings to human research.

Computational Neuroscience and Dynamic Behavior

Computational Neuroscience and Dynamic Behavior

We investigate sensory integration, belief updating, and decision-making using virtual reality, high-precision eye tracking, and continuous behavioral measurements. By linking neural population activity recorded through electrophysiology and calcium imaging with interpretable computational models, we compare the neural mechanisms of cognitive behavior across species.

EEG Analysis and Noninvasive Brain Stimulation

EEG Analysis and Noninvasive Brain Stimulation

We investigate neural information processing and cognitive functions by analyzing spatiotemporal changes in electroencephalography (EEG) signals and functional connectivity. Using signal processing, numerical analysis, and simulation, we optimize transcranial electrical stimulation, temporal interference stimulation, and multifrequency stimulation techniques.
