About Me

Tiara Bounyarith is a full-time Research Coordinator in the Dynamic Brain and Mind Lab (led by Dr. Aaron Kucyi) in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences. She currently leads an NIMH-funded project that aims to investigate the neural bases of spontaneous thought using a novel real-time fMRI-triggered experience sampling paradigm. Her research interests include using fMRI to study the brain dynamics underlying ongoing maladaptive self-generated thinking, a hallmark of numerous internalizing mental disorders. Before working at Drexel, Tiara received her BA in Psychology with a minor in Cognitive Neuroscience from Temple University in 2023. She will begin her PhD in Clinical Psychology and Applied Cognitive Brain Sciences at Drexel in the Fall of 2025.
