Current Studies

Research is a vital part of our department! We specialize in innovative, transdisciplinary work. We have several ongoing studies and invite you to read about some of them below. Please contact our research staff for more information. All research studies are completely voluntary.

Brain & Mood Health Lab

Depression Research Study



Our Brain and Mood Health Lab is running a research study for depressed people not currently helped by their existing medications. Antidepressants don’t always fully treat depression symptoms. Our research may help identify depression medications with fewer side effects.

SCAN Lab Studies

Sleep Deprivation Study

The SCAN lab is recruiting participants for a research study to determine the effects of cognitive fatigue (CF) on neurocognitive assessments and functional brain connectivity through fMRI during a period of sleep deprivation. Results from this study will be used to help develop technology to individualize modeling of cognitive fatigue that would mitigate its risks across military operations.
