Embodied Brain Lab

The Embodied Brain Lab focuses on the examination of the interconnection between the body and brain, specifically how mind-body-movement practices impact brain function and physiology. 

The two-fold aims of the Embodied Brain Lab are to identify the neural and behavioral mechanisms 1) through which mind-body-movement practices optimize brain health and wellness; and 2) that optimize motivational engagement in physical activity and other health behaviors. We conduct these examinations in both healthy and clinical human populations as well as preclinical animal models using neurophysiological and behavioral approaches.
