Goldstein Piekarski's Lab: academic year and summer opportunities

Research topics: The overarching goal of the CoPsyN Sleep Lab is to understand how sleep contributes to psychiatric disorders, particularly depression, across the lifespan by using fMRI, high-density EEG sleep recordings, and computational approaches. Current projects include two longitudinal neuroimaging and hd-EEG studies examining the impact of a sleep intervention on well-being and fronto-limbic brain function in individuals with 1) Depression and 2) Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Techniques: We use MRI, EEG, behavioral and clinical assessments in humans
