Welcome to the Naturalistic Cognitive Computational Neuroscience Lab!

Our lab operates under deep curiosity for the human beings, what makes us special and what makes us who we are. We study mechanisms of the human brain, and how it gives rise to cognition and behavior. We conduct functional magnetic resonance imaging and behavioral experiments to examine brain activity in relation to behavior. We develop artificial neural network models, simulating brain circuits and functions, to understand the brain's computational principles.

The lab is launching at the University of Texas at Austin, in August 2026! Please visit Join Us if you are interested in becoming the founding members of the lab.
