Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory (Bae)
Welcome to the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience laboratory at Arizona State University! We study neural and cognitive mechanisms that allow us to maintain stable visual experience of the world despite noisy sensory representations. We investigate a broad set of research topics, including visual attention, visual working memory, and perceptual decision making using psychophysics, computational modeling along with EEG/ERPs.
Ongoing projects include:
1) Mind reading of visual information
2) Understanding the limits in visual working memory
3) Interaction between perception and short-term/long-term memory”
Lab Director and Principal Investigator:
Gi-Yeul Bae, PhD, Assistant Professor
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology of Arizona State University. I study visual cognition using psychophysics, EEG/ERPs and computational modeling. Check out here to learn more about my research.
Graduate Student
KuoWei Chen
KuoWei is interested in investigating the cognitive mechanisms that underlie decision-making processes when the decision has to be made on the basis of uncertain sensory stimuli. Methodologically, he is interested in using computational modeling and electroencephalography.

VCN and Steve Luck @ UC Davis will do virtual workshop on ERP decoding analysis on 29-30 June 2020. This is a free event and will be a great opportunity to grasp the core idea of decoding analysis and learn how to implement decoding analysis for your own data set! To attend this event, registration is necessary. Please check here more info!
