Biography
I am a first year MSPS student working with Professor Sepideh Sadaghiani in the CONNECT lab. Before my graduate studies, I studied topics such as mental health, prosocial behavior, language acquisition, and animal pain, using various methods including stereo electroencephalography, fMRI, and modelling. I received my bachelor’s degree in applied psychology from Zhengzhou University, Henan Province, China. In my current role at the CONNECTlab, I have been involved in concurrent EEG-fMRI programs.
Research Interests
Cognitive Control; Cognitive Flexibility; Functional Connectivity; Multimodal Neuroimaging; Individual Differences
Research Description
In the CONNECT Lab, I am working on two concurrent fMRI and EEG programs. I am learning how individuals’ functional brain connectome is spatially and temporally organized in resting state and during different tasks that need cognitive stability and flexibility, respectively. I am also dedicated to learning how individual differences, scanning sessions, oscillation frequencies and task states influence people’s functional connectivity.
In addition to my lab's research, I am interested in using computational modelling to study how humans estimate the environment and adjust their cognitive stability and flexibility. I am also interested in examining the complementary roles of different neural oscillations in local and cross-regional information transfer to facilitate cognitive flexibility.
