Research
My research interest revolves around understanding the neural basis of visual perception. Currently, my focus primarily lies in understanding the role of primary and dorsal visual cortical areas and their interaction during perceptual integration and segmentation of elements in the visual space. In Huang Lab, I leverage human psychophysics, non-human primate behavior and electrophysiology, and computational models to investigate the neural basis of perceptual integration and segmentation.
I enjoy participating in outreach activities for events and schools and demonstrating various visual perceptual phenomena, and eye/brain dissections.
