Ruchika Shaurya Prakash studies how brain structure and activity relate to attention, mind-wandering, and cognitive aging, with a particular focus on mindfulness meditation and exercise as interventions to support healthy cognitive aging. Her work uses brain imaging (like functional and structural connectivity analysis) to identify biomarkers that predict attention, cognitive decline, and adherence to behavioral interventions across conditions such as aging and multiple sclerosis. This research aims to understand how practices like meditation and physical activity change brain networks and behavior over time.
