Happy to share a new review in The Journal of Pain led by Flavia P Kapos, DDS MS PhD and involving several others from SocSIG IASP on #social determinants and consequences of #pain, proposing a novel #framework to help guide future research. Great team effort!

new postdoc position available with me and Siobhan Schabrun on an NIH funded study validated brain based biomarkers in chronic pain. contact me with informal inquiries. grad.uwo.ca/doc/postdoc/op…

Our paper about neuroimaging-based pain biomarkers is finally out in PAIN Journal. 🎉 journals.lww.com/pain/fulltext/… (Open access) This article investigated a systematic evaluation of how different modeling targets and options influence model performance. 👇Threads🧵(1/15)

I'm pleased to share our lab’s collective effort: ‘Pain Neuroimager Manifesto: Towards Person-Centered Neuroscience of Pain.’ This manifesto reflects our commitment to a person-centered, pluralistic, and nuanced approach to pain neuroimaging research. cocoanlab.github.io/manifesto/

Excited to share our review paper with Hayoung Song and Monica Rosenberg, now out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences🚨! We propose that each brain spatial scale may uniquely contribute to cognitive functions. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k2DP4sIRvTB…

Our brain operates at various spatial scales, from local to global. Do they govern different functions? A broad review on multiscale brain & cognition, out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences spanning Cog/Sys/Comp Neuro work in 🐭🐵🧑! Team JeongJun Park Monica Rosenberg authors.elsevier.com/c/1k2DP4sIRvTB…

If folks are interested in linking macro-environment/satellite data to brain data see our study here (news.gsu.edu/2024/11/12/res…; nature.com/articles/s4422…). You can also play with it yourself, the data are released as part of ABCD data release 5.0. ;-)

😄The final version of my first Ph.D. project has been published in PLOS Biology! We showed the spatiotemporal profile of how the brain mediates cue-stimulus integration in pain, interpreting the findings in terms of cortical hierarchy from association to sensorimotor systems.

New preprint out! 🚀 Our latest work on Motion-Corrected Eye Tracking (MoCET) is now available on bioRxiv! We introduce a method to improve gaze accuracy in fMRI experiments using head motion correction. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #EyeTracking #fMRI

Check our new preprint about domain-general effects of expectation on pain and tastes 👇: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Excited to share my new paper on impression formation & updating in NatRevPsychology! nature.com/articles/s4415…

🧠📷 New paper out! How does the brain make sense of a story? Combining behavioral data, #fMRI, and #LLMs, our study explores how distinct hippocampal-cortical systems support the #encoding and #sequencing of #narrative events during ongoing comprehension. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Does your favorite song actually relieve pain? We looked into the brain to find out. 🧠🎶❓ Come check out Poster #0780 (Wed/Thur) at #OHBM2025! In collaboration with McGill University 🇨🇦 — Elise Desbarats & Prof. Mathieu Roy.

We’re excited to share our unique ECoG dataset for natural language comprehension. The paper is now on Scientific Data (nature.com/articles/s4159…) and data is on OpenNeuro (openneuro.org/datasets/ds005…). Zaid Zada Sam Nastase

Check out our latest work in Nature Communications - we show that others’ feelings and our inferences can both be predicted from our brain activity, and that we are more accurate when these brain patterns align. feat. Jamil Zaki tor wager d. ong, s. mattek, & Isabella Kahhalé

Excited to share our new PNAS paper! 🎉 We examined the neural source of rs-fMRI FC using patterned optogenetic manipulation in mice 🧲🧠. A step toward answering a long-standing question. Fantastic work by Hyun Seok Moon Suk Jun Hong CNIR-IBS pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

Yesterday, we had a special start to our Science Luncheon Series with an early talk from Dr. Minwoo (Daniel) Lee. His session provided valuable insights and set the stage for the series ahead. Missed the talk? Watch the episode here: youtu.be/Cj_dIK69Y2E?si… #VitalLongevity #UTD

I’ll be reviewing PhD applications for Fall 2026. Our lab investigates healthy self-development, focusing on the socioemotional and neural processes that support or hinder it across adolescence and young adulthood. Info: labs.utdallas.edu/dsanlab/join-u…
