UC Davis TCAN Lab

UC Davis TCAN Lab Understanding and improving cognition and emotion in health and disease.

The work in our lab focuses on neural mechanisms of attention and memory, and on the pathophysiological processes underlying clinical disorders that involve these cognitive systems. Our research integrates behavioral, computational, and functional neuroimaging (fMRI, PET, ERP). We are particularly interested in the relative contribution of the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate to executive

processes and the interaction of this circuitry with related brain regions involved in motivation, learning and memory.

Beijing, China (lived in central IL for the past 4 years for university!)

What are your research interests?
Language, affective and other cognitive deficits in the psychosis spectrum & psycholinguistics in general :)

What drew you to the TCAN Lab?
I am drawn to the lab because the kind of research going on here is exactly what I want to do in grad school and beyond.

What do you look forward to the most about working here?
I look forward to meeting participants in person again after only doing remote research for a year and a half. I also look forward to learning more about imaging techniques and clinical interviews while strengthening my skills in all facets of research!
