About Me

From Talesh to the Lab

I was born and raised in Talesh, a paradise-like place in northern Iran. At age 18, I moved to Tabriz to pursue my bachelor's and master's degrees in Radiology Technology and Medical Imaging Technology.

Today, I am a PhD candidate in Cognitive Neuroscience at the NDCLab at Florida International University, working under the mentorship of Dr. George Buzzell.

My research investigates the role of neural oscillations in memory and error monitoring, with a particular focus on how these processes are modulated in social anxiety. I use neuroimaging techniques — EEG and fMRI — alongside computational and behavioral methods.

Research Focus

Understanding the Anxious Mind

How neural oscillations enable error monitoring and shape memory

Neural Oscillations

Investigating how brain rhythms coordinate error detection processes and memory formation.

EEG Time-Frequency Analysis

Error Monitoring

Examining how the error-related brain activity, including the error-related negativity (ERN) and theta oscillations, differs in healthy and (socially) anxious individuals.

ERN Response Locked

Memory

Studying how negative events, such as errors, modulate incidental memory encoding and the emotional enhancement of memory.
