Received the Young Investigator Award: Basic Science from the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) in 2016 and was elected as a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science (APS) in 2018. Published multiple papers, such as 'Neural correlates of trial outcome monitoring during long-term learning in primate posterior parietal cortex' in Nature Communications, and 'Neural prediction errors as a unified cue for abstract visual reasoning' in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.
Research Experience
Currently, he is a professor of brain and cognitive sciences and vice president at Peking University. He serves on the editorial board for Current Biology, Experimental Brain Research, and Science China: Life Sciences.
Education
Obtained a Ph.D. in cognitive and biological psychology from the University of Minnesota in 2006 and was a postdoctoral research associate between 2006 and 2007.
Background
Research interests include visual learning and adaptation, visual attention and awareness, object and face perception. His work combines neuroimaging, electrophysiology, brain stimulation, psychophysics, computational modeling, and human genetics to understand the neural mechanisms of visual and cognitive processes.
