University of Maryland

Description:

The CCNL conducts both basic and applied neuroimaging work with humans using
EEG and MRI modalities.  Basic work focuses on brain mechanisms underlying
emotion and cognition using EEG, MRI, and other psychophysiological measures,
as well as the development of novel time-frequency signal processing
approaches to neuroimaging data analysis.  The applied work focuses on
understanding how functional brain activity is disrupted for clinical
problems such as substance abuse, aggression, depression, and anxiety, with a
strong focus on how behavior in these brain mechanisms be changed through
treatment.  This work can be relevant to students from a variety of
disciplines, including psychology, biology, neuroscience, and engineering.
