The Provenza laboratory uses an engineering approach to investigate ethologically relevant brain-behavior relationships underlying psychiatric symptoms to develop personalized neuromodulation strategies that will improve outcomes for psychiatric disorders.

Our Methods

To study these complex internal states, we leverage multimodal monitoring to link symptoms to observable, quantifiable behaviors. We measure behavior alongside brain activity through intracranial electrophysiological monitoring in humans. Our research focuses on two patient populations: 1) ambulatory individuals implanted with recording-capable DBS devices, and 2) individuals in the inpatient setting undergoing intracranial monitoring.
