Past Research
01
Using an integrated framework of cognitive control and a transdiagnostic dimensional approach to understand psychopathology: A pilot study
(Recruitment Completed)
This project aims to investigate the relationship among different cognitive control processes and psychopathological symptoms. The participants of the study are individuals aged 18-29, who have no history of neurological or psychiatric disorders, are not on psychiatric medication, and possess normal vision.
02
Effects of age on the interactions of attentional and emotional processes: A prefrontal fNIRS study
(Recruitment Completed)
The aging of attentional and emotional functions has been widely researched, but often in isolation. Consequently, the connections between aging and the interplay of attentional and emotional processes are not well understood. This study sought to explore how age influences the interactions between attentional and emotional processes throughout adulthood. The participants of the study are right-handed individuals aged 18-29, who have no history of neurological or psychiatric disorders, are not on psychiatric medication, and possess normal vision.
03
Temporal dynamics of resolving multiple concurrent conflicts: A pilot developmental ERP study
(Recruitment Completed)
In daily life, we frequently face situations where multiple types of conflicts must be resolved simultaneously. However, the neural mechanisms involved in resolving multiple concurrent conflicts are not well understood. Additionally, it remains unclear whether developmental differences affect the independence of various conflict processes. The aim of this study is to examine the temporal dynamics and developmental differences associated with conflict resolution under multiple concurrent conflicts using the event-related potential technique.
The findings of this study will help develop strategies and identify the optimal timing for interventions in situations where multiple conflicting pieces of information are present, in order to assist students in enhancing their learning efficiency and inhibitory control. The participants of the study are right-handed students aged 8-17, who have no history of neurological or psychiatric disorders, are not on psychiatric medication, and possess normal vision.
04
Theta neurofeedback training for executive function in children and adolescents
(Recruitment Completed)
Numerous studies have indicated that executive function is significantly related to social skills, emotional management, academic performance, and health. Dr. Yeung aims to explore whether children and adolescents can enhance their executive function by learning to self-regulate their brain waves. This study examines the effects of 8-session frontal midline theta EEG neurofeedback training on executive function in children and adolescents.
