Bio

Dr. Behnaz Jarrahi is a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford School of Medicine. Her current research focus is the application of statistical machine learning and multivariate analytical methods to neuroimaging data analysis and modeling. One of her long-term research goals is to model supraspinal processing of interoceptive signals carrying information about the visceral states to delineate how anoetic consciousness emerges and evolves to more sophisticated forms of consciousness that motivate behavior or produce different feelings.
