Jinyu Chen

I am deeply passionate about clinical neuroscience, with a particular focus on explicit and implicit emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and affect labeling. I aim to bridge the gap between academic findings and practical applications, translating insights from neuroscience into tools that enhance mental well-being.

In my research, I explore the neural correlates of emotion processing and regulation through EEG. By combining behavioral studies with neuroscience methodologies. I address these questions from multiple perspectives. My work focus on these brain indices, including the LPP and theta, alpha oscillation activity, to examine how emotion responses vary across valence and regulation strategies.
