I'm now a research assistant professor at the Institute of Psychology, CAS. My research interest is developing neuromodulation methods targeting depressive rumination.
New paper in BMC Psychiatry: We map the functional connectome of active rumination in MDD and healthy individuals using an experimentally induced rumination task.

🚀 Excited to share our new paper! We used a massive multi-site R-fMRI dataset (1660 MDD patients & 1341 HCs) to map subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) connectivity abnormalities in depression.

🚨New in BMJ Mental Health!

Can we compare rTMS trials using HRSD & MADRS? 📊 Yes—we built robust crosswalk models to convert scores across these two scales.

Crosswalk between HRSD and MADRS outcomes for rTMS in patients with depression
Background The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) and the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) are the two most common clinician-rated scales to quantify depression symptom chang...
