BioMy research investigates the brain mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits in two key populations: children with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ADHD, and elders with neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. By integrating cognitive science, neuroscience, and computational modeling with cutting-edge functional neuroimaging techniques, I aim to uncover the neurocognitive processes that shape both typical and atypical brain development and aging. My research goal is to advance our understanding of the factors contributing to cognitive dysfunction across the lifespan, with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.
