Neuroplasticity and Cross-Cultural Cognitive Adaptation: A Comparative Study of Memory Systems
This interdisciplinary research project explores how neuroplasticity mechanisms enable cognitive adaptation across different cultural contexts. By combining advanced neuroimaging techniques with cross-cultural psychological assessments, we aim to understand how memory systems develop and function differently across populations.
Our research focuses on three key areas:
1. Investigating neural pathway variations in memory encoding and retrieval
2. Examining cultural influences on cognitive processing strategies
3. Developing new theoretical frameworks for understanding brain-culture interactions
Expected outcomes include novel insights into human cognitive diversity and potential applications for educational neuroscience and cross-cultural psychology.
Research Interests:
• Cross-cultural neuroscience and comparative cognitive studies
• Neural mechanisms of learning and memory formation
• Cultural neuroscience and brain-environment interactions
• Developmental neuroscience across diverse populations
• Application of neuroimaging in educational contexts
• Interdisciplinary approaches to understanding human cognition
