Jinyu Wang

I am a PhD student in the MIND Lab at Northeastern University. My research combines music cognition, neuroscience, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to understand musical reward, brain connectivity, and aging.

My current work focuses on musical reward sensitivity, structural and functional brain connectivity, Digital Twin Brain models for Mild Cognitive Impairment, and AI-assisted creativity during music listening.

I use behavioral experiments, MRI, EEG, psychometric modeling, and machine learning methods to study how individual differences in brain structure and brain dynamics relate to music, reward, and creativity.
