Question
At COMBINE Lab, we are driven by one fundamental question: How does the brain, as a complex network, give rise to human intelligence and high-order cognitive functions? Our research explores the large-scale organization of neural networks and the computational principles that shape cognition, both in resting states and during active tasks.
Mission
Our mission is to decode the underlying biological and computational mechanisms of neuronal information processing—how thoughts, memories, and actions emerge from the intricate interplay of distributed brain networks. We investigate how these processes manifest in health and disease, providing insights into clinical conditions where these mechanisms go awry.
Approaches
To tackle these challenges, we leverage multimodal brain imaging and advanced computational modeling to simulate the dynamics of multi-regional neural networks. By bridging neuroscience and artificial intelligence, our lab aims to develop biologically inspired, energy-efficient, and functionally scalable AI systems—offering a blueprint for the next generation of intelligent machines.
