Dr. Jingyuan Chen is a Research Fellow at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her research aims to address limitations of neuroimaging, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). More specifically, she is interested in understanding its vulnerability to systemic physiology and inaccessibility to various neuromodulatory processes, through the addition of fMRI to concurrent positron emission technology (PET) imaging. Here, under the joint mentorship of Drs. Bruce Rosen, Julie Price, and Randy Buckner, she will develop an analytical framework to link large-scale brain dynamics with concurrent functional PET (fPET) signals. She will then apply this framework to examine the neuronal changes that occur during naturalistic arousal fluctuations and to better understand the metabolic underpinnings of complex network behavior. This research will lay the foundation for novel multi-modal techniques to probe the mechanisms underlying typical and atypical large-scale brain dynamics. Dr. Chen received her Bachelor of Science from Tsinghua University and her masters and PhD from Stanford University.
