SearchThe Brain Aging and Mental Health lab uses psychometric approaches to understand brain-behavioral relationships in the context of the aging process to inform mental health outcomes across the lifespan.
From a neuropsychology of aging perspective, we focus on the measurement of cognition using experimental and standardized clinical instruments to consider the biopsychosocial factors that affect cognitive performance and other mental health outcomes. A goal of our lab is to facilitate the translation of cognitive neuroscience advances to applications with clinical and public health utility. We collaborate on multidisciplinary open-science neuroimaging characterization studies aimed to deeply phenotype community samples and use experimental and interventional approaches to examine neural systems underlying cognitive and mental health behaviors and neurocognitive plasticity.
