Abstract
Synopsis: Recent neuroimaging advances reveal the hidden functions of brain networks, enabling a new viewpoint of time-varying brain dynamics. Through this point, we are able to influence our brain functionality through a variety of interventions. From the short time duration of divergent thinking to the long time scale of stroke rehabilitation, the resulting neuroplasticity of the brain networks indeed changes our perception, cognition and emotion to the real world. In this talk, I will cover the topic of how life events modify our brain functionality and its influence on behavioral performance.
