Suppes Brain Lab research program is focused in three main areas. The first is the continued study of language in the brain, focused on recognition of English or Chinese phonemes. The second area focuses on the psychological and neural interactions of couples in psychotherapy. The third area is continual theoretical research on the applications of weakly coupled phase oscillators, as models of brain computations.

Carvalhaes, Claudio
Claudio G. Carvalhaes received the Ph.D. degree in physics from the Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niteroi, RJ, Brazil. He is currently a Sr. Data Scientist at MentAd and a researcher at the Suppes Brain Lab at the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University. His research interests include the physics-EEG interface, theoretical physics, and interdisciplinary fields.
de Barros, Jose Acacio
Jose Acacio de Barros is an Assistant Professor at San Francisco State University's Liberal Studies Program since Fall 2007. Before coming to SFSU, he was a Visiting Associate Professor at the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI), Stanford University, and an Associate Professor of Physics at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Brazil.
Most of his research is in foundations of physics, in particular the foundations of quantum mechanics, and the physics of biological systems. He is also interested in research in physics education.
Kaneshiro, Blair
Blair Kaneshiro is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University’s Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) and Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Her research focuses on the study of musical engagement using both neurophysiological and behavioral data collected in controlled laboratory experiments, as well as large-scale industrial datasets. Blair earned her PhD in Computer-Based Music Theory and Acoustics, MS in Electrical Engineering, MA in Music, Science, and Technology, and BA in Music, all from Stanford.
Nguyen, Duc
Duc Nguyen received her B.S. in Bioengineering (Premedical) from the University of California, San Diego. With three years of research and programming experience at UCSD and expertises in small animal surgeries, she is now a Research Assistant at Suppes Brain Lab. She runs EEG experiments for the psychotherapists and Research Associates in emotion and phonemes classifications. Duc maintains the lab and the experimental equipment and software and assists in the creation of the visual and auditory stimuli and analysis programs.
Paulo Guimaraes de Assis, Leonardo
Leonardo P. G. De Assis is a Research Associate at Suppes Brain Lab - Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI), Stanford University.
He has undergraduate degree in mathematics from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and master and Phd degrees in Physics from Brazilian Center for Research in Physics, Brazil, with publication in nonlinear dynamics, quantum field theory, nuclear physics and physics of plasmas.
He is currently employing techniques from dynamical systems, and field theory to model the so-called "Neural Binding Problem".
