Lin Lab The Bytes of Minds Lab - Research

We're hiring!


Welcome to the Lin Lab (Bytes of Minds Lab)! We are an interdisciplinary research group at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the Departments of AI, psychiatry, and neuroscience. Based within the #1 hospital and the biggest hospital network in New York, we aim to push the boundaries of Computational Psychiatry and Neuro-AI by creating adaptive, intelligent systems powered by multi-modal foundation models such as large language models that can eventually both deepen our understanding of the mind and enhance mental health care in a scalable way.

Our Mission

The human brain is a powerful organ, enabling us to think, feel, and interact in complex ways. Yet, its workings and the nature of the mind remain partly mysterious. Our mission is to unravel these complexities by developing AI inspired by the brain's structure and function in social setting. We aim to create autonomous agent-based systems and foundation models of the brain that learn, adapt, and reason in ways that reflect the human mind, ultimately solving real-world challenges, interacting naturally with humans, and supporting mental health through advanced diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

Key Research Areas



Ongoing Research Directions

1. Computational cognitive models and neural dynamics focused on perception, memory, and social learning
2. Neuro-inspired and neurosymbolic AI architectures for adaptive learning
3. Real-time, multi-modal, and autonomous AI interfaces for clinical care, including AI companions, large language models, and psychometric assessments
4. Brain-computer interfaces, extended realities, and embodied cognition
5. Privacy-preserving AI solutions and societal impacts for secure healthcare applications

Through our work, we strive to develop cutting-edge technologies that can benefit society, improve mental health outcomes, and shed light on the fundamental principles of intelligence. We believe that by bridging the gap between bytes and minds, we can create a future where artificial intelligence and human intelligence work together seamlessly to solve the world's most pressing challenges.

If you're interested in learning more about our research or collaborating with us, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to exploring the frontiers of intelligence with you!
