Interests

I'm interested in the neural basis of cognitive control, attention, and human intelligence. In particular, my study focuses on a distributed multiple-demand network across the frontoparietal brain regions, which is thought to be crucial for human intelligent behaviors because of its incredible function to flexibly and adaptively process task-relevant information. My current projects use MEG/EEG, fMRI, and concurrent TMS-EEG to understand how the brain flexibly codes task-relevant information using many different signals, and how non-invasive brain stimulation affects neural coding and related behaviors.
