CCBBI's annual Research Day is a celebration of the world-class neuroimaging research that is conducted at The Ohio State University. Join us on December 7th to hear from OSU faculty, students, and research staff who use neuroimaging to gain a better understanding of our brain.
Our Keynote Speaker is Dr. Frank Tong from Vanderbilt University. Dr. Tong’s research group at Vanderbilt University is focused on understanding how the brain processes visual information. The Tong lab uses high-resolution fMRI and advanced computational algorithms to address questions such as how faces are analyzed and represented in the human brain, the mechanisms underlying visual attention, and the behavioral and neural basis of visual working memory.
Our featured OSU faculty speakers are:
Brandon Turner. Dr. Turner is a Professor in the Department of Psychology. His research interests include understanding the neural basis of self-control and decision making, efficient methods for performing likelihood-free and likelihood-informed Bayesian inference, and unifying behavioral and neural explanations of cognition.
Scott Langenecker. Dr. Langenecker is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. His interests include the assessment and treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and suicide and crisis, focusing on the life transition point between adolescence and adulthood.
Ivy Tso. Dr. Tso is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. Her interests are in understanding the psychological and neural basis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and related syndromes. The ultimate goal of her research is to develop effective and personalized treatments to help people with severe mental illnesses lead meaningful and fulfilling lives.
Baldwin Way. Dr. Way is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology. His research interests lie at the intersection of social psychology and immunity, specifically understanding how neural mediators such as prostaglandins and cortisol influence the brain and immune system.
