Zheyuan received his bachelor’s degree of Life Sciences in Lanzhou University in 2009 and completed his Ph. D. of Neurobiology at the Institute of Neuroscience (ION), CAS in 2017. Since then, He continued his postdoctoral research at the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT, formerly ION) and joined ICPBR in 2025.
He is interested in the neural correlates on visual consciousness, mainly the role of frontal and visual areas in generation and transition of visual consciousness.
