The quest to unravel a person’s motive has captivated our imagination since the dawn of humankind. To parse motivation, our lab uses functional neuroimaging techniques combined with detailed behavioral, physiological, and psychological assessments. We build statistical and computational models decoding motivation and latent desires based on extensive measurements. By capitalizing on big data from many different modalities, we envision predicting future actions in everyday life. Such detailed knowledge is indispensable in improving treatments for many mental disorders, which are characterized by seemingly inappropriate actions or desires.
