We utilize molecular fMRI with the aid of bioresponsive MRI probes, a methodology that combines molecular imaging and functional MRI. Molecular fMRI enables the direct monitoring of neuronal signaling processes with exceptional spatiotemporal resolution.

The DEB Lab examines the functional and comparative neuroanatomy of neural pathways interfacing bodily and brain states, to unravel how interoception and autonomic control shape brain functions supporting awareness of feelings.

One of the most enigmatic and arguably the hardest problems in neuroscience is to understand the biological basis of consciousness. With that as an aim, research in the lab focuses on the microcircuits and the neural mechanisms underlying conscious visual perception and cognition.

We utilize psychophysics, neurophysiology, and computational modelling in both humans and non-human primates to investigate the neural and computational mechanisms of sequence learning, working memory, and consciousness.

The brain is an amazing machine. It handles the challenge of life by carrying out various forms of decision making based on fuzzy or incomplete information. Is that shadow behind the tree a dangerous tiger or a harmless deer?

Zhen Liu lab focus on gene-modification method development in primate and genetic tools development used for primate brain connectome, cognition, disease study.
