Research Interest

My researches try to understand the neural underpinning of addictions, especially internet gaming disorder and nicotine addiction. Based on these studies, my team also tries to explore non-invasive treatment methods (behavioral training, rTMS) on addictions and the ways to improve their effectiveness.
