Biomedical Research in AI and Neuroimaging

Bridging neuroscience and computational methods to understand brain function and behavior

Welcome to BRAIN Lab @ UTA

The Biomedical Research in AI and Neuroimaging Laboratory at the University of Texas at Arlington, led by Dr. Xi Zhu, focuses on developing computational approaches to understand the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes and psychiatric disorders. Our interdisciplinary research bridges neuroimaging, machine learning, and psychiatry.
