Cognition: How the brain generates thought and emotion

We investigate the function of different brain areas and neurotransmitter systems during behavior to gain insight into the biological basis of human cognition.

Our research

Neurotech: Recording human brain activity

We leverage neurosurgical interventions to deploy powerful experimental techniques that provide unique insights into human brain function.

Our methods

Therapeutics: Understanding neuropsychiatric conditions

We study neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression and epilepsy to develop novel neuromodulation treatments

Our publications
