The Center for Cognition and Brain Disorders (CCBD) of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University is a physical department of the Affiliated Hospital, which is composed of some personnel from the Institute of Psychological Science, School of Education, Hangzhou Normal University and some clinical researchers from the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University, and is led by both the Affiliated Hospital and the Institute of Psychological Science, School of Education.

The main equipment platform of CCBD includes an investigational 3T MR scanner, electroencephalograph, near-infrared instrument, transcranial magnetic stimulator, transcranial direct current stimulator, eye tracker, near-infrared polygraph, and blood spectrometer. It is the only unit in the Chinese psychological community to install the investigational 3T MR scanner, and the robotic transcranial magnetic stimulator is also the only one in China. The above special research equipment is installed in the hospital, with no clinical diagnosis and treatment tasks. Therefore, there is sufficient time to do clinically relevant scientific research on patients.

The main research direction of CCBD is the combination of cognition and brain disorders, and the research fields involve the brain mechanism, objective assessment, treatment, etc. of relevant diseases. At present, the key research contents that have been established include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, online game addiction, lying and behavioral problems in children, transcranial magnetic stimulation for brain dysfunction, and brain functional imaging methodology research.

Among them, the team members have published dozens of SCI/SSCI papers around attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, online game addiction, and lying and behavioral problems in children respectively. In terms of brain functional imaging methodology research, the methods and software developed by the team are widely cited internationally.
