Projects
| Resting brain | Despite the burgeoning literature showing group-based differences in brain activity at rest, its specific association to any particular disorder is still lacking, making it an ineffective biomarker. We also lack applicable translation of group-based results to personalized clinical care. We are doing research that will be particularly focused on developing individualized metrics to capture and computationally model the dynamics of brain activity at rest, so that specific biomarkers can be developed for early detection and treatment of mental illness.

| Creativity | We are doing a series of studies to better understand (1) how creativity is manifested in the brain; (2) can we enhance creativity using design-thinking based training; (3) how the neural activity changes with creative capacity enhancement; (4) how creative brain develops (esp. why creativity slumps in the 4th grade); and (5) the neural correlates of team-creativity.

| Meditation | In this project we aimed to understand and computationally model the longitudinal changes in neural activity (EEG) associated with intensive meditation training (~6 hrs/d for 3 months). This project was done as a part of a larger project whose goal was to study the effects of intensive meditation practice on attention, emotional regulation, and the associated neural correlates (more info here the Shamatha Project ).
