研究室紹介

Professor Hyeongdong Park's research lab specializes in the neural mechanisms underlying self-consciousness and bodily self-awareness, with a focus on how brain networks and physiological states such as respiration influence self-referential processing. The lab investigates cognitive biomarkers in neurological and psychiatric conditions, particularly in the context of neurosurgical interventions, using neuroimaging, EEG, and virtual reality paradigms. A central theme is understanding the neural basis of personality changes following brain surgery, especially in relation to disorders like the Gastaut-Geschwind syndrome and borderline personality features. The lab also explores the causal role of respiratory rhythms in motor preparation and neural readiness, integrating neurophysiology with behavioral and cognitive neuroscience.

The respiratory phase causally modulates the readiness potential amplitude

Abstract Previous research has shown that the respiratory phase correlates with both voluntary action timing and readiness potential (RP) amplitude, but whether this relationship is causal or merely correlational remains unclear. Here, we experimentally manipulated breathing patterns to test if the respiratory phase causally influences the neural preparation for voluntary movement. Participants performed self-initiated button presses under four conditions: breathing in (BI), breathing out (BO),

Abstract Background and Objectives The identification of cognitive biomarkers in preoperative counselling and their monitoring during brain surgery is of growing interest for the safe conduction of resective intracranial procedures with potential impact on the patients’ personality. The conscious experience of identifying with the body (self-identification) and of where ‘I’ am in space(self-location) are central for bodily self-consciousness (BSC). In a virtual reality (VR) paradigm using multis

Borderline personality disorder following resection of large sagittal sinus meningioma is evidenced by a self-other voice discrimination task: a case report

ABSTRACT Personality changes following neurosurgical procedures pose a major concern for patients and remain poorly understood both by clinicians and neuroscientists. Here we report a case of a female patient in her 50s who underwent resection of a large sagittal sinus meningioma with bilateral extension, including resection and ligation of the superior sagittal sinus, that resulted in borderline personality disorder and symptoms resembling the Gastaut-Geschwind syndrome. Clinical observations w
