Seigo Ninomiya
Clinical Research Coordinator Associate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
BioAt Stanford University School of Medicine, Seigo worked in NIH funded Clinical trials for a variety of neuropsychiatric disorder, and hands-on experience dealing data from neuroimaging methods such as fMRI, EEG, and 3D Neuro-navigation system. At UCSF School of Medicine, he has completed the internship program with the Center for Intelligent Imaging. As a part of Biomagnetic Imaging Lab and Speech Neuroscience Lab at UCSF School of Medicine, He has done data processing, Data QC, and analysis of MEG, fMRI data and several neuropsych scales such as GAD7, YBOCS, and Tinnitus Functional Index. He have hands-on experience on advanced neuroimaging technologies including fMRI and EEG in laboratory settings at University of California Davis., and obtained a CITI training certificate in both biological/behavioral training, and MRI training certificate from UC Davis Imaging Research center.

Ruth O'Hara
Director, Spectrum, Senior Associate Dean, Research and Lowell W. and Josephine Q. Berry Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. O'Hara's research aims to investigate how cognitive information processing deficits subserve affective symptoms in psychiatric disorders, and interact with key brain networks integral to these disorders. To do so, she has implemented a translational, interdisciplinary program that encompasses cellular models, brain and behavioral assays of affective and cognitive information processing systems in psychiatric disorders across the lifespan.

Clayton Olash
Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioClayton Olash, MD is a psychiatry resident at the Medical University of South Carolina and an affiliate researcher with Stanford University. His work bridges psychiatry, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions, with a focus on how altered states of consciousness can catalyze lasting psychological change.
Clayton's current research spans multiple projects, including studies on ibogaine and its impact on the default mode network, rapid-acting neuromodulation techniques such as SAINT TMS combined with meditation, and a novel high-dose electrotherapy device for home-based treatment of depression. His broader aim is to understand how psychedelics, brain stimulation, and meditative practices can modulate self-related processing and promote enduring well-being.
With backgrounds in philosophy, psychology, and medicine, Clayton's work emphasizes integration: uniting ancient contemplative wisdom with modern neuroscience and emerging technologies. His long-term goal is to develop translational models of care that transform transient altered states into sustainable therapeutic traits.
