Overview of Academic Research
The Liu Lab focuses on development of brain imaging technologies and aims at improving treatments for patients with brain disorders. The research areas include
(1) Precision brain functional mapping at the single-subject level, and understanding brain networks that underlie cognition, emotion, memory, language and other basic functions
(2) Identifying functional circuits responsible for neurological and psychiatric symptoms and translating these brain imaging markers into clinical practice for treating brain disorders such as Depression, Autism, Stroke, Parkinson’s, etc
(3) Establishing personalized neuromodulation strategies based on cutting-edge imaging technologies
