Research Interests


Kwok’s research lies at the intersection between neuroscience, behavior, and psychology. His research team (http://www.kwoklab.org/) studies the neural bases of episodic memory, metacognition, and other related higher cognitive processes in the primate species. Elucidation of such intricate brain/mind/behavior relationships is attained by armamentaria of methods including multimodal neuroimaging, in vivo electrophysiology, neuromodulatory methods, state-of-the-art behavioral paradigms and computational techniques.
