Jony Sheynin

Jony Sheynin, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science within the School of Medicine. His work focuses on computational modeling, neuroimaging (fMRI), and behavioral analyses to study psychopathologies like anxiety disorders and PTSD. He holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers University and advanced degrees from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Professional training includes postdoctoral studies at the University of Michigan's Department of Psychiatry.

Research Interests: Computational Psychiatry, neuroimaging techniques (functional MRI), mechanisms of PTSD and anxiety disorders, avoidance behavior, and decision-making processes. His studies investigate neural correlates of fear extinction, trauma recovery predictors, and translational neuroengineering approaches for neurological conditions like tetraplegia.

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes PTSD symptom trajectories using deep learning models, fMRI biomarkers for treatment response, and transcutaneous spinal stimulation for neurological assessment. His research bridges computational neuroscience with clinical applications, particularly in precision psychiatry and neurorehabilitation.
