About Us

We are a multidisciplinary research team at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Our lab locates in Chula Neuroscience Center, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. We focuses on foundational rules and computational principles that govern human cognition using psychological experiments, computational modelings and various neuroimaging techniques such as EEG, fMRI, fNIRs and brain stimulations. We hope that deeper understandings of how the human mind works will help us shed light on underlying mechanisms of various neurocognitive disorders.

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.

Sasin “James” Treeratana

Physician-Scientist

Hi, I’m James. I graduated with my M.D. from Siriraj Hospital in 2025. During medical school, I developed a strong interest in mapping neuropsychiatric disorders deemed “non-localizable.” I believe our conventional brain atlas is outdated and due for revision. My current focus is on using fMRI analysis techniques to uncover large-scale brain networks affected by these disorders, rather than attributing symptoms to localized lesions.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing classical piano—especially Chopin—rock climbing, and making espresso.

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.

Our lab cares about cultivating young minds as much as doing science. Thus, we want to make sure that our lab members are gaining enough valuable experience and living in a nourishing environment. Here are some basic agreements that we really value.

  • We will have regular friendly lab meetings every 1 - 2 weeks. The aims are to share new ideas, research findings, research progressions, any cool or wacky brain stuff really. We expect our members to attend, share ideas, thoughts, and give constructive comments.

  • We are learning new things every day. Learning how to work and solve problems both independently and as a group or “learning how to learn (together!)” is actually very important. Please mentally prepare to learn and work as a group. Most projects here need team efforts.

  • As much as we want everyone to accomplish what they want, we totally understand that sometimes unexpected circumstances might occur. Please do not get discouraged and please let us know (We also understand that not everyone is comfortable in doing so. In case that we lose contact with you for more than 4 weeks, please do understand that we would assume that you might be in that situation)

  • We do not particularly care about your work time and place as long as you can manage to meet your timeline. However, we believe that being together in the same place is essential in building relationships and learning from each other (Shhhh! And don’t tell anyone that we also have a lot of sweet and yummy dishes in the lab). In case you have difficulty organizing your time, we also would be happy to help!

  • Sometimes we have fun with the project and we would like to talk about it all day. That’s cool as long as it’s completely spontaneous. We care a lot about work-life balance and don’t expect people to respond to emails or calls outside office hours.

  • We love hearing bold, fun, creative, new ideas from various perspectives. This is why our members came from many disciplines. It is also exactly why we cherish all kinds of diversities including but not limited to culture, ethnicity, race, gender, social status, educational background, health-related issues. Our lab expects everyone to be respectful and thoughtful.
