Dr. Seung Lark Lim's research lab focuses on understanding the complex brain mechanisms involved in decision-making processes related to smoking behavior. By examining how smokers regulate their urges to smoke in response to stress and other influences, the lab aims to develop better strategies for smoking cessation that could also apply to other health behaviors. The team employs advanced neuroimaging techniques to study how emotion, cognition, and sensory cues impact self-control and learning related to smoking decisions.
