Laboratory of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience and Neuroimaging

We are recruiting undergraduate research assistants and graduate students!!! Let me know if you are interested in Cognitive Science, Computational Psychiatry, and Neuroimaging. See details in Resources section

The group of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience and Neuroimaging (CCNN) is led by Dr. Ru-Yuan Zhang (张洳源 in Chinese), who is currently a Principal Investigator at the Institute of Psychology and Behavioral Science and Shanghai Mental Health Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.

We are interested in using various behavioral and neuroimaging methods to investigate computational principles of human cognition.
