Dr. Takakuni Suzuki was selected as a recipient of the 2020 Oscar Stern STAR Award for his project entitled “The Effect of Social Stress on Error-Related Cognitive Control.” This project aims to identify a specific brain wave (theta-band activity) as a neurophysiological marker of cognitive control engaged during stressful situations. The results are expected to inform our understanding of the biological mechanisms of affect management and lay the foundation for development of novel interventions applicable to a wide range of psychiatric conditions.
