1. Visual Perception and Attention

2. Interaction between Language and Perception (Categorical perception)

3. Interaction between Emotion and Perception (Attention)

I’m exploring the neural basis of above brain functions using both psychophysical method andmultimodal imaging techniques(fMRI, TMS).
