Research Description

This group used MRI, EEG and behavior methods to carry out research in the following two fields: 1. Individual differences of attention and working memory and their characteristic changes in mental diseases (ADHD, schizophrenia and depression); 2. Effects and mechanisms of cognitive training and various non-invasive brain stimulation methods (rTMS, tDCS, etc) on improving attention and working memory.
