The ultimate goal of the Brain Dynamics
Laboratory in KAIST (PI: Prof. Jaeseung Jeong) is to understand the complex
brain mechanism underlying decision-making and social cognition and their
impairments in neuropsychiatric disorders. To achieve this goal, we use
neuroimaging methods including EEG/fMRI and computational modeling tools to
investigate how cortical-subcortical circuits work during decision-making and
social cognition. We attempt to develop the integrative models of impaired
cognitive processes in neuropsychiatric disorders and develop brain-computer
Interface techniques for therapeutic neuromodulations of neuropsychiatric
patients and robot-animal group controls. In addition, we study how the brain
produces aesthetic preference on paintings and music and how it manipulates
social communications between humans. We believe our integrative approach will
provide us with an insight into the most significant question "what are human
beings?"
