This spring, CCBBI launched the Graduate Student Research Excellence Award to provide summer support for graduate students conducting neuroimaging research. We look forward to hearing more about their work at CCBBI Research Day in December.
Tzu-Yao Chiu
Tzu-Yao's project explores how humans maintain stable object information across eye movements, especially when the eye movement is directed toward the object.
Isaac Liao
Isaac's project uses fMRI and TMS to ask whether network partners of face-, body-, and object-selective visual regions are necessary for recognition.
Jingyi Luo
Jingyi's project studies how interoception supports affect by examining information flow within and between interoception-related brain systems during social affective video viewing in adolescents.
Quinn Meyerson
Quinn's project examines how online mindfulness-based stress reduction influences brain networks implicated in mind-wandering, as well as behavioral and daily-life measures of mind-wandering.
Derrek Montalvo
Derrek's study uses TMS to investigate how the brain filters distracting information while maintaining goal-relevant information in visual working memory.
Xinnan Wang
Xinnan uses fetal functional MRI to investigate how hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, may alter fetal brain functional networks.
Dan Zhu
Dan's study examines how people perceive and relate to AI companions by analyzing brain activation and behavior after participants build rapport with a Replika AI companion.
