The Stanford Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research group within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford Medical School. We are also affiliated with the Neuroscience, Bio-X, Biological Computation, and Symbolic Systems programs at Stanford University.

Our laboratory is dedicated to the investigation of brain function and dysfunction using a systems neuroscience approach. We use neuroimaging (fMRI, sMRI, DTI, and EEG) as well as behavioral, psychological and computational methods in our research. Various collaborative studies in our laboratory focus on the cognitive neuroscience of memory, attention, adaptive behavior, music and language, multisensory integration, and affective information processing. Across a wide range of studies, our overarching goal is (1) to better understand the integrated functioning of large-scale distributed brain networks and (2) to understand how disruptions in brain function and connectivity impact behavior.
