Laboratory of Visual Cognition and Memory

Humans encounter vast amounts of information at every moment. The ability to perform complex mental computations and adapt flexibly to the changing environments constitutes the core of human cognition, and underlies higher-level cognition such as inference, language comprehension, and problem solving. The primary objective of my lab is to understand the neural mechanisms underlying such complex and flexible behaviors.

Our research integrates functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), scalp electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), intracranial EEG (iEEG), with psychophysics and computational modeling, to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying visual and high-level cognition. Specifically, we focus on the following areas: (1) Working memory (2) Mental imagery (3) Cognitive control and Abstraction
