I am interested in understanding spontaneous activity of the resting-state brain activity and private self-consciousness, and how they relate to morale dilemmas in the neuroscientific context. My main focus is on how three temporal measures of resting state activity, scale-free activity indexed by the power-law exponent, auto-correlation window, and modulation index, are affected during task-evoked activity and how they are related to private self-consciousness in anxiety disorder. To achieve this goal, I am using machine learning algorithms, neuroimaging data, and exploring consciousness of self.
