Biography
Dr. Yanyu Zhang is an Associate investigator at Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She obtained a Ph. D. in Psychology at Peking University in 2016 and was a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University (2016-2018) and University of Geneva (2018-2020). Her research seeks to understand the neural mechanisms of visual and cognitive processes in humans by combining neuroimaging (3T and 7T fMRI), electrophysiology (EEG and MEG), brain stimulation, and psychophysics.


Research Interests
Dr. Yanyu Zhang’s research interests include visual learning and adaptation, feature binding and human color vision.
