The Jiang lab is hiring at different levels in social and affective neuroscience research. Our current research projects mainly focus on determining causal neural circuits relevant to affective deficits and treatment effects by combining multimodal brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation [TMS], intracranial electrical stimulation) with multimodal brain recording (functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI], intracranial electroencephalography [iEEG]) methods in healthy population and patients with neuropsychiatric, neurological, and neurodevelopmental conditions. Join us as we scale up our efforts to better understand how to modulate human brain circuits and promote the development of novel treatments to improve mental illness!!
