Our Research

Research Focus Areas

Advanced research across key areas of brain and behavior, combining traditional neuroscience with cutting-edge digital tools.

Cognitive Neuroscience & Decision-Making

Examines how people think, make choices, process information, and respond to risk or reward. We study working memory, attention, and executive function.

01

Neuropsychology & Brain–Behavior Assessment

Explores the relationships between brain functioning and behavior using cognitive tests, standardized assessments, and computational analysis.

02

Digital Neuroscience & AI-Based Cognitive Analysis

Uses machine learning, computational modeling, and open-source datasets (EEG, fMRI) to enhance the understanding of cognitive performance and neural signatures.

03

Mental Health, Emotion & Wellbeing

Studies how stress, anxiety, mood, and emotional regulation influence cognition and functioning. We aim to identify markers that shape mental wellbeing.

04

Addiction Neuroscience & Impulse Control

Investigates how substance use impacts reward pathways, craving, impulsivity, and decision-making, grounded in Dr. Tohid's clinical expertise.

05
Active Research

Current Projects

Explore our ongoing research initiatives combining traditional methods with innovative approaches.

Project 1: Craving, Impulsivity & Decision-Making in Substance Use

Project 1: Craving, Impulsivity & Decision-Making in Substance Use

Explores how cognitive control, reward sensitivity, and impulsive behavior differ in individuals with substance use risk using behavioral tasks and open-source datasets.

Project 2: The Impact of Stress on Working Memory & Executive Function

Project 2: The Impact of Stress on Working Memory & Executive Function

Investigates how acute stress affects attention, cognitive flexibility, and performance on tasks such as the Stroop Test and N-back.

Project 3: AI Prediction of Cognitive Performance Using Open Datasets

Project 3: AI Prediction of Cognitive Performance Using Open Datasets

Uses machine learning tools to analyze large open datasets to predict memory, attention, emotional regulation, and other cognitive outcomes.
