With aspirations to be a holistic physician, I am passionate and curious about all things that have to do with mind and body interactions. Within our lab, we are studying neural synchrony and asynchrony across specific brain locations of multiple people working together performing certain tasks as a team. To measure this brain activity, our lab team uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) which is a mobile and non-invasive brain monitoring technique that measures changes in hemoglobin inside the brain. This allows for real-time neuroimaging to observe the participants’ brain activity during the performance of given tasks. We hope to find how diverse perspectives and thinking styles may affect a team, which patterns of brain activity underpin positive team dynamics and how teammates’ brains and behaviors change over time.
