Dr. Huang’s lab focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying visual cognition and cognitive impairment associated with brain diseases. Our perception is the comprehensive outcome depending on how the brain deals with dynamical information from external and internal world. Vision is supposed to be the most important sensory information that guides our action. Thus vision is the best window into our brain.
Research Interests

2. Cognitive abnormalities in the early stages of brain diseases, e.g., autism, dyslexia and schizophrenia;
3. Noninvasive cognitive regulation by transcranial magnetic/electrical stimulation.
4. Visual cognition development of children
