Research Focus
Dr. Han Joo Lee's lab at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee focuses on understanding and improving the brain's ability to inhibit inappropriate behaviors, particularly in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related conditions. The lab is testing a new computerized training program designed to enhance this ability through a mix of gaming elements and behavioral monitoring. This research aims to develop effective treatments that can be personalized to individual needs, making therapy accessible and more widely applicable.

Research Aims
5AIM 01Examine the impact of response inhibition training on neural indicators of response inhibition.
AIM 02Determine the effectiveness of response inhibition training in reducing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
AIM 03Assess whether symptom reduction in obsessive-compulsive disorder is mediated by changes in neural response inhibition indices.
AIM 04Develop a personalized intervention tailored to individual treatment needs.
AIM 05Investigate the feasibility of gamified computerized training in enhancing therapeutic outcomes.
