个人简介
国家自然科学基金优青项目获得者。2009年本科毕业于西南大学心理学部,随后被保送到北京大学心理与认知科学学院,并于2014年获得博士学位。博士毕业后,前往美国国立卫生研究院心理健康研究所(NIH/NIMH)进行博士后研究,于2018年加入华南师范大学心理学院。
相关研究成果已以第一或通讯作者身份发表于Neuron、PNAS、PLoS Biology、Current Biology、NeuroImage等国际权威期刊上。实验室密切结合认知科学、神经科学和计算科学的方法和理论,试图回答人类认知过程中的四个重要问题: 一、为什么人脑具有极其巨大的潜能,而我们却只有非常有限的知觉能力?二、视觉系统是如何从双眼视网膜上的二维图像构建出对三维世界的表征?三、大脑如何对外部世界形成有意识的感知?四、情绪如何影响大脑的认知加工过程?
研究手段
