Hi, I am Zoe! My Chinese name is Ziyi Duan(段紫逸), meaning a purple bunny riding a skateboarding. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in ClaySpace Lab in the Department of Psychology at New York University. Before that, I worked as a research assistant in Lewis-Peacock Lab at The University of Texas at Austin, and did my undergraduate and master work with Dr. Xiaowei Ding at Sun Yat-sen University (China).
Working memory is a core cognitive function, which allows you to hold and manipulate the information in your mind to guide behavior in a flexible, context-dependent manner. My research focuses on understanding the formatting and transformations of visual working memory under different task demands, from sensory to mnemonic codes, and to motor plans. I enjoy combining multiple approaches and developing new techniques to tackle these questions. My current research approaches include psychophysics, neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG), eye-tracking, motion capture system, machine learning, and computational modeling. Here are the research projects I’ve been working on.
Besides, I’m also interested in promoting science communication between scientists and the public. Please check out Blogs for my writings!
