Overview
The Suthana Laboratory aims to advance our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying memory and emotion, with a focus on developing innovative neuromodulation and neuroimaging technologies. By integrating intracranial electrophysiological recordings with non-invasive peripheral measurements, the lab seeks to improve treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, and provide new tools for studying brain function in real-world contexts.

Journal Article Nat Commun · October 20, 2023 Our ability to recall memories of personal experiences is an essential part of daily life. These episodic memories often involve movement through space and thus require continuous encoding of one's position relative to the surrounding environment. The medi ...
