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.
