Vadim Zotev, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor and 3T Co-Director

Dr. Zotev is an MRI physicist and an expert in multimodal neuroimaging using simultaneous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). His research focuses on development of novel neuromodulation treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders, including major depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), using real-time fMRI neurofeedback and EEG neurofeedback. His current research interests include applications of real-time fMRI neurofeedback for cognitive rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury, as well as
for emotional resilience training and suicide prevention in patients with depression and PTSD.
