Tyrone Ly MSc

Faculty of Medicine

In 2025, Tyrone completed an MSc under the supervision of Dr. Todd S. Woodward at the Cognitive Neuroscience of Schizophrenia Lab, BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. Tyrone's research focused on studying the functional brain networks involved in our working memory by using Constrained Principal Component Analysis to analyze task-based fMRI data obtained from open science frameworks. From these findings, correlations were established between patterns of network activation and individual differences in demographics, personality, behavior, cognitive performance, and symptoms of mental illnesses. Such understandings will help guide advancements in diagnosis and the development of treatment options for several neurological disorders that involve working memory deficits. Tyrone has a BSc Honours in Cellular, Anatomical, and Physiological Sciences from UBC. 

Research Interests: Working memory, Functional brain networks, fMRI, psychometric analysis, open science
