University of Maryland 

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 diciplines, incluing psychology, biology, neuroscience, and engineering.  We are looking for several new RAs for a series of new projects starting in the summer!
