Transforming Reality: How Gaming Gear is Impacting Health Care
Several interdisciplinary projects are using virtual and augmented reality to push the frontiers of physical and mental therapies at Duke University. Dr. Nanthia Suthana’s lab works with students of game design, electrical and biomedical engineering, neuroscience, psychology, and even visual arts – presenting powerful opportunities to gain a glimpse into the workings of the brain. […]
Learning the Language of the Brain
Dr. Nanthia Suthana, who joined the Duke Department of Neurosurgery earlier this year as a Duke Science and Technology Scholar, studies the neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior. At Duke, she is continuing the cutting-edge research she began at UCLA, using advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiology technologies to investigate and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Suthana Lab joins Duke Department of Neurosurgery
Nanthia Suthana, PhD, and her team have joined the Duke Department of Neurosurgery. Suthana specializes in studying the neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior in naturalistic settings. She develops and applies invasive neuroimaging and electrophysiology techniques, including mobile intracranial recordings and deep brain stimulation, to investigate memory, spatial navigation, and neurostimulation-based therapies. At Duke, Dr. […]
Kempner’s Seminar Series – Neural Dynamics of Memory, Navigation, and Threat Detection: Implications for AI & Brain-Inspired Learning Systems
Dr. Suthana was invited to speak at the Kempner’s Seminar Series at Harvard University, February 2025. This talk explores fundamental neural mechanisms involved in memory formation, spatial navigation, and threat detection, using a unique approach of neural recordings from patients with neural implants who are able to move freely in real-world environments. I will first […]
Pushing Boundaries: Memory Enhancement, Virtual Reality, and Trauma Therapy in Neuroscience
Dr. Suthana was invited to speak to Andreas Horn who interviews experts in the field of deep brain stimulation, noninvasive neuromodulation, functional brain imaging, and neuroanatomy. Andreas Horn, M.D., Ph.D., directs the Institute for Network Stimulation and is a professor of computational neurology at the University of Cologne. Listen
Invasive brain recordings in humans, learning as a PI, and the joys of mentorship
Dr. Suthana was interviewed by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith and featured in the BJKS podcast, a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related. Listen
