Dr. Hedy Kober's lab at UC Berkeley focuses on understanding the brain markers related to cravings and substance use disorders, which are crucial for developing better treatments. The lab uses advanced brain imaging techniques and machine learning to analyze how the brain responds to different substances, with the aim of creating reliable tests to predict cravings and relapses in individuals with substance use issues. By studying large groups of individuals from various backgrounds, the lab seeks to enhance the effectiveness of therapies for addiction.

Dr. Allison G Harvey's lab focuses on understanding and improving sleep and circadian functioning in midlife and older adults, as well as in adolescents with evening chronotypes (night-owls). The lab investigates innovative treatments that enhance patient memory for sleep interventions to boost treatment adherence and outcomes. They also explore habit-based interventions to promote better sleep health behaviors among youth, particularly targeting those at risk for various health complications.

Maria V. Ivanova's research lab focuses on how high-intensity exercise can help improve language and cognitive skills in individuals who have experienced strokes and suffer from aphasia. By combining physical training with innovative therapies, the lab aims to create new rehabilitation strategies that address not just speech but also overall well-being and brain health in stroke survivors.

The research lab of Dr. Richard Ivry at UC Berkeley focuses on understanding the cerebellum and its significant role in various cognitive processes beyond just movement control. The lab investigates how the cerebellum contributes to tasks such as perception, attention, and decision-making by conducting behavioral experiments and neuroimaging studies. They also study patients with cerebellar disorders to better understand cognitive impairments related to cerebellar function.
