Welcome

The Dynamic Brain & Mind Lab (Kucyi Lab) is in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. We are a human neuroscience lab studying how the brain self-organizes its activity to give rise to the mind in both health and illness. A major research focus is the neural basis of mind wandering and spontaneous thought, including how these processes interact with mental functions that are more traditionally emphasized in cognitive neuroscience (such as attention, memory, and cognitive control). We also apply network neuroscience and multimodal neuroimaging techniques to characterize the electrophysiological dynamics of brain networks, and we develop real-time neuroimaging interventions to determine how brain networks relate to mental experience and behavior.

We incorporate a variety of techniques including experience sampling, functional MRI (fMRI), real-time fMRI, scalp EEG, simultaneous EEG-fMRI, and precision brain network mapping. The Dynamic Brain & Mind Lab is part of the Applied Cognitive & Brain Sciences Program at Drexel.
