[Brain Imaging in Development and Psychiatric Conditions]

Jiook Cha, PhD

Department of Psychology

Seoul National University

Our understanding of the brain should ultimately enable us to predict an individual's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes and trajectories. However, current human neuroscience has not yet reached that point. Many models of cognition, emotion, and psychiatric disorders often lack reproducibility and practical utility. This limitation has left urgent unmet needs in current Psychological Medicine, such as the ever-increasing prevalence of mental disorders and suicides.

As a viable alternative, rigorous data-driven predictive modeling, and ultimately prescriptive modeling, may lead to much-needed innovative breakthroughs in transforming the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders and promoting wellness. Human neuroscience and psychology should harness large-scale, multi-modal, multi-site biomedical data, including genetic, brain imaging, and behavioral data. These resources, which encompass structural and functional brain imaging linked to genome and phenome data, present both a vast volume and complexity. They are ushering in a new era of data-driven science for scientific discovery, the development of new theories, and predictive capabilities.

The forthcoming computer-aided understanding of human minds and behaviors, in both normal and diseased conditions, will complement the mainstream reductionist approach to human neuroscience. In this presentation, I will discuss the motivation, vision, prerequisites, and applications of modern data science in human neuroscience and psychology.

Biography: I obtained B.S. (Environmental and Ecological Engineering) at Korea University, M.S. (Neurobiology) at The Catholic University of Korea, and PhD in Neuroscience at the State University of New York in Stony Brook. My doctoral thesis focused on the brain circuitry underlying anxious behaviors and clinical anxiety in humans. During the postdoctoral training at Columbia University in the Department of Psychiatry, I investigated multi-modal brain imaging in child and adult psychiatric disorders. In 2016, I started an assistant professorship in the same department. In 2020, I joined the Department of Psychology at Seoul National University and started SNU Connectome Lab. I live with three kids and a wife.
