We study the neural basis of human cognition and behavior, using multimodal neuroimaging techniques.
Our goal is to understand how the human brain supports critical cognitive and behavioral functions in everyday life, such as spatial navigation and memory, and to identify the sources of age-related impairments in these functions. Methodologically, we employ invasive neurophysiological recording techniques (e.g., intracranial EEG and human single neuron recordings) and non-invasive neuroimaging methods (e.g., fMRI and fNIRS) to study human brain function in both controlled laboratory settings and during natural movement and behavior in the ‘real world’. Check out our Research page for more details.
The lab is led by Dr. Matthias Stangl, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Psychological & Brain Sciences at Boston University. Matthias is also a faculty member of Center for Systems Neuroscience, the Cognitive Neuroimaging Center, and the Neurophotonics Center at Boston University.
