The experimental paradigms the lab uses are inspired from popular tasks in cognitive psychology and have translational value in probing mental health. The lab employs various techniques that establish a translational link between non-human primate model and humans: 

(1) Behavioral and EEG recordings in humans (healthy and patients) to identify behavioral manifestations and electrophysiological markers of specific computations in the brain, 

(2) Behavioral and EEG recordings in NHP model to draw direct translational links to human application, 

(3) Multi-areal layer-resolved intracranial recordings and causal manipulations in NHP frontal cortex to characterize the neural circuitry underlying these computations. 

The knowledge from this research is of particular importance to enhanced mental health diagnosis and functionally-guided treatment strategies. We welcome collaborations with psychiatrists and clinical psychologists to advance this mission.
