Neuroimaging-based Spatial and Circuit-level Optimization for Psychiatric Endophenotyping: NeuroSCOPE lab uses high-resolution 7T imaging to characterize motivation in depression
NeuroSCOPE lab investigates the brain circuits underlying motivation and mood, with a particular focus on depression. We are interested in combining multi-modal neuroscientific tools to not only deepen our understanding of the human brain but also to advance personalised mental healthcare. Using high-resolution 7T MRI, reinforcement learning paradigms, and digital phenotyping via EMAware technology, we aim to characterise motivation and its neural mechanisms. Through integrating neuroimaging with precision biofeedback interventions, we aim to map and modulate brain activity, implementing a rigorous and individualised approach to understanding and treating mood disorders.
