Quantifying and capturing transitions in intrinsic brain activity in healthy and patient populations
Developing individualized metrics to capture and computationally model resting-state brain dynamics, toward personalized biomarkers for mental illness.
With: Allan Reiss, Gunnar Carlsson, Olaf Sporns
Completed
Using fNIRS in 3rd- and 4th-graders to understand how the creative brain develops and why creative capacity often dips in 4th grade.
With: Allan Reiss
Completed
Testing whether creative capacity can be enhanced through targeted training, and mapping the accompanying changes in brain dynamics.
With: Grace Hawthorne, Allan Reiss
Completed
Characterizing and computationally modeling the longitudinal EEG changes from ~3 months of intensive meditation training, as part of the larger Shamatha Project.
With: Clifford Saron, Risto Miikkulainen
