Jiancheng Hou studies how the brain's structure and connectivity change with experience and in various health conditions, using neuroimaging methods such as MRI and functional MRI. A central focus is how musical training and multilingual experience reshape brain anatomy, alongside work on how the brain responds in conditions like fibromyalgia, traumatic brain injury, and other disorders. Music-based approaches to pain relief (analgesia) are a recurring topic.
