Sepideh Sadaghiani is an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at Illinois University, focusing on Cognitive Neuroscience. Her research examines the large-scale neurocognitive networks and their functional connectivity that underlie cognitive control. The studies conducted in her lab aim to understand how distant brain regions maintain communication, which forms the basis of cognitive processes. The research explores the organization of functional connectivity in large brain networks and how these networks are modulated during cognitive tasks, particularly during alertness and attention. Integration of various methodologies, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and genetic analyses, allows her lab to address questions related to brain connectivity and its impact on behavior, data acquisition from healthy participants and neurological patients alike. Sadaghiani's academic journey began with her Ph.D. at the Max Planck International Research School and further postdoctoral training at Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley.
