Chaipat Chunharas
Principal Investigator
Chaipat is equally interested in how normal brain and brain disorders affect human behaviors. He received
his internal medicine training from Khon Kaen University (TH), neurology training from Chulalongkorn
University (TH), and later went to pursue his Ph.D. in experimental psychology at the University of
California San Diego (US). During his time at UCSD, he studied how humans misperceived current information
or misremembered past information in interesting ways under the guidance of wonderful mentors; Dr.John
Serences, Dr. Timothy Brady, Dr. Rossane Rademaker, Dr. Viola Stoermer, Dr.Eric Halgren, and Dr. VS
Ramachandran. His current works focus on bringing psychology and neuroscience perspective to clinical
neurology and vice versa using psychophysical methods with various neuro-imaging (MRI, fMRI, DTI, EEG).
Whenever possible, he will try to tell people around him how excited brain science is (not always succeed
though). But when he is not a researcher nor a doctor, he enjoyed being a silly dad and reading some good
books.
Peter Chunamchai
Neurologist & Dreamer
A Neurologist who is interested in cognitive and behavioral neurology. After graduated, he fortunately has
a chance to experience LOTS of interesting issues in the CCCN lab. He tries to learn and practice in this
new world. His focus is on the effect of sleep on cognition, how our brain works during sleep and
language.
Anthipa Choksuwattanasakul
Neurologist
Anthipa Choksuwattanasakul is a neurologist with research interests in cognitive neurology and brain
structural changes in aging and neurodegenerative conditions. Her work focuses on how hypoxia, sleep
disorders, and neurological diseases affect cortical thickness, white matter integrity, and cognitive
performance.
Yuthachai Sarutikriangkri
Clinical Psychologist
Hi, I’m Yuthachai Sarutikriangkri. You can also call me “Sun”. Currently, I work as a clinical
psychologist at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. I have studied the comparison of sub-tests in
working memory index among posterior cortical atrophy, Alzheimer’s disease, and age-associated memory
impairment. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree of science in psychology from Kasetsart University. I’m
very interested in the fields of clinical neuropsychology and cognitive decline from any causes.
Waragon "Mossy fiber" Phoosuwan
Teacher and Lover
Hello, my name is Waragon Phusuwan. I completed my BSc. (Hons) in Physics from Chulalongkorn University
(Thailand) in 2020 and then became a research assistant in CCCN, Most of the things that are interesting
to me and the top picks are Physics Mathematics and Computer Science. I am currently researching
neuropsychological clusters in aging patients and action classifications in PD using IMU in wearable
devices. I am also interested in cybersecurity, data science, and web development. My motto is "Always Try
Harder!"
Anantaporn Sena
Data Analyst
I’m Praew, a clinical psychologist graduated from Thammasat University with a Bachelor of Liberal Arts
degree in psychology. I am fascinated by experimental psychology, especially in psychophysics. But after
unexpectedly working as a data visualization engineer in the lab for a while, I was trapped in the data
science world and kept improving my skills and knowledge in this field, deliberately, at the moment. I
currently working on the brain structural and cognitive developmental change of HIV-infected children
project. I’m also a cat person, enjoying eating, drinking good tea, listening to music, and giving a comfy
vibe to people around me.

Lab Manager
For everyone who’s reading this. I’m Tok (originally came from Kaitok), a person who might have already
broke his career path.
Setthanan Jarukasemkit
Physician-Scientist
Hi stealthy reader! I’m Joe, a medical student who dreams of being a neuropsychiatrist before thirty years
old. Luckily in 2023, I’ll be a doctor graduating from the Faculty of Medicine at Ramathibodi Hospital,
Mahidol University. Apart from the field of medicine, I am fascinated by complex systems science including
the brain network, human cognition, and social behaviors. My current research focuses on the human
connectome and aims to propose connectomic fingerprints (fMRI, DTI, EEG) as predictive biomarkers for
neuropsychiatric disorders. I’m keenly looking to co-create more research in these fields to bridge the
gap between the patient’s brain, mind, and behavior. I’m also a wine lover, scuba diver, and bookworm. If
you need more info, let’s have some dialogues!
Kanathip Jongmekwamsuk
Physician-Scientist
Kanathip is a medical student who is fascinated by the cognitive neuroscience of language and learning. He
was enrolled in a dual MD/MSc degree at Chulalongkorn University. He’d love to have a great insight into
the interaction between cognition, language, and culture, which is a state of metacognition and
meta-learning. He is currently working on language-related cognitive impairment and manipulation of the
learning process. His ultimate goal is “The Map of Everything”, a mapping of his whole brain! Whenever he
is away from work, he enjoys the aesthetics of taste and scent. You may find him wandering around the city
for tasty food, good wine, and fragrant perfume.
Naphapa Panyanirun
Physician-Scientist
Hello, I’m Naphapa (Prinn). I’m currently a (pseudo)medical student at Chulalongkorn University. My
interest is in the area of Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience. Now I’m studying the effects of visual
experience on CXR interpretation. I am also interested in computer programming and I’m looking to develop
my coding skills. Outside of the lab, I’m actively involved in the medical student community. I also enjoy
reading, playing guitar, and spending time with people. Most importantly, coffee is my life!!
Chattarin Poungtubtim
Neuroscientist and PhD candidate
A 5th-year medical student at KMCH. He presented with a lack of energy and motivation during his clinical
clerkship. His current treatments are neuroscience, mathematics and computer science. The question about
how humans are able to learn and think is always on his mind. How can humans make a causal inference with
a small amount of data? Why are we able to learn many things and generalize our knowledge to different
topics? Discovering the answer for these questions will help us to build machines that learn and think
like people. However, there are still some works to do before he tackles those hard problems.
He’s currently working on auditory perceptual learning. His colleagues are being tortured by
listening to heart sounds and identifying if it is an abnormal heart sounds. Being able to see the
murmur-associated cortex in the cardiologist’s brain is his goal for this project. When he’s not obsessed
with the work, you can find him listening to music at some cool jazz bar. Taking a weird photo on a street
is also his favorite activity. You can also talk to him about books and philosophy. He’s something of a
madman himself.
Nithit Singtokum
Physician-Scientist
Hi, I'm Bank. I'm currently a 6th-year medical student at Chulalongkorn university. I’m passionate about
patients with cognitive impairment. In addition to medical fields, I’m interested in cognitive
neuroscience, especially visual perception and working memory. My current research project is about
ensemble representation bias visual working memory. I'm excited to find out more about human memory and
the model of ensemble perception and look forward to collaborating on further projects in these fields. I
also enjoy listening to 90s music, watching movies and series, and finding a good place to eat at.
Arp-Arpa (Arb) Kasemsantitham
Medical student
I graduated from NYU and previously worked as an RA under Dr Marjorie Rhodes at CDSC lab before joining
CCCN lab as a medical student. Inspired by everyone in this lab, I hope to explore my interests in how
affect, behaviors, and cognition can be studied through neuroimaging techniques—all the various
(dis)connections between function and structure. Outside of the lab, I can be found daydreaming,
re-reading Camus, and organizing concerts at Lido.
