The Laboratory of Brain Imaging and Neural Dynamics (BIND Lab) in Department of Occupational Therapy and Graduate Institute of Behavioral Sciences, Chang Gung University, Taiwan (Since Sep. 2014), aims at investigating brain functions and structures by using behavioral tasks, neuropsychological tests, and non-invasive brain imaging modalities (e.g., MEG, EEG and MRI) in various populations. As a key member of Healthy Aging Research Center (HARC) in Chang Gung University, I devote to studying the links between brain and behavior in older adults with and without cognitive decline. The research topics include, but not limit to, the identification of imaging signatures that can reflect cognitive decline, the search of imaging markers that can predict disease progression, and the effects of non-pharmacological interventions to older asults with subjective memory complaints or objective cognitive decline (see research grants below). In addition to the aging population, I also study the cognitive neuroscience using event-related potential (ERP) in healthy adults with some kinds of prsonality traits, such as trait anxiety, highly sensitive persons, etc. With the belief that rehabilitation and neuroimaging research need more supports from biochemical evidence, I begin to collaborate with experts from the fields of  neurology, physiology and genetics, to examine the dynamic relationship among biochemical markers in the blood, brain structures, brain functions, and behaviors in the aformentioned populations. We welcome bright undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about brain/cognitive sciences to join us! 

腦造影與神經動態研究室 (BIND Lab) 成立於2014年9月。我們實驗室的研究主軸是利用非侵入性腦造影儀器，如腦電圖 (EEG)，腦磁圖 (MEG)，磁振造影 (MRI) 來探討人類大腦的結構與功能變化。由於本實驗室位在長庚大學醫學院職能治療學系並與健康老化研究中心有任務型合作關係，所以與職能治療相關的族群都是我們研究的對象，目前主要包含健康成人、健康高齡者、認知功能衰退等神經/精神疾患個案。就科學議題而言，本實驗室主要聚焦在大腦如何處理從外界接收的感覺訊息 (知覺歷程) 以及如何根據所獲得的訊息進行反應 (認知展現)。近年來，有感於復健科學與神經影像學需要有更多基礎神經生化學的證據來支持，本實驗室也開始透過與基礎醫學專家合作，來了解上述個案/腦功能/腦結構與血液中重要生化參數的相關性。有別於傳統的臨床復健介入研究，本實驗室的精神是利用神經影像學來 (1) 探討臨床神經及精神疾病腦結構/腦功能異常的神經標誌；(2) 提供臨床介入成效背後腦科學的解釋；(3) 驗證不同介入方法在神經機制上的差異；(4) 以腦影像為出發點找出可以作為介入成效的客觀指標。雖然我們實驗室不以介入型研究為主軸 (但也有一些介入型研究，詳見下方進行中研究計畫)，但我們研究的方法與目標對臨床治療有相當重要的貢獻!! 歡迎對腦影像及神經機制研究有興趣的大學部同學及研究生加入我們!

恭喜實驗室最新的一篇文章 "主觀認知衰退中高齡者對大腦預設網路功能性連結的影響: 腦磁圖研究" 發表在SCI期刊 "老化" (IF = 4.831, Ranking = 13.72%)。這個研究成果是本實驗室一個重要的里程碑，因為主觀認知衰退或主觀記憶抱怨是本實驗室近年來的核心研究課題，也獲得科技部傑出學者養成計畫的經費補助。雖然這個主觀的症狀可能具備其他的異質性，如憂鬱與焦慮情緒狀態等，但我們將這些因素排除後，發現相較於沒有主觀認知衰退的個案，那些主動求診且抱怨認知功能較過去幾年衰退的人呈現大腦功能性連結的顯著不同 (delta及gamma頻帶: 後扣帶迴-外側顳葉，後扣帶迴-楔前葉)。這個結果意味著主觀認知衰退的抱怨會反映在客觀腦功能的改變。這邊非常感謝台北榮總王培寧主任及陽明大學蕭富榮研究員的強大貢獻，讓這三年來的努力有一些不錯的成果!!!
