Degrees
- B.S.Sc. The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Psychology, 2005
Current Research
- I'm interested in studying how experience changes our visual processes and the functional organization of the visual cortex. I work with my supervisor, Isabel Gauthier, to study the expertise of music reading as a tool to understand expert visual perception. My current projects include exploring the neural substrates of music reading using fMRI technique and studying expert visual processing of music reading through behavioral studies.
