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?"
