Phillip Cheng
I am a research specialist working for Professor Sabine Kastner at Princeton Neuroscience Institute. I am interested in the role of neural rhythms in cognitive functions and consciousness. I received my Bachelor’s degree with First-Class Honors from the University of Sydney, and my Master’s degree with High Distinctions from Macquarie University, Australia. Before joining the Kastner Lab, I conducted independent research in various labs in the US and Australia, working with experts in cognitive psychology/neuroscience, including Professors Robert Reinhart at Boston University, Mike Le Pelley and Justine Gatt at the University of New South Wales, and Anina Rich at Macquarie University. My work also benefited from external collaborators such as Professor David Soto at BCBL, Spain. My approach is grounded in cognitive psychology, using psychophysics, eyetracking, high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation, and electroencephalography. I am proficient in Matlab and Python. My research mainly involves healthy young adults. I also have experience working with mono- and bilingual children and aging populations. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals including PNAS and Psychological Science.
