My research interest is focused on the intricate dynamic interaction between attention, microsaccades, and visual perception, with a particular emphasis on neural oscillations. I use laminar probes and Utah arrays to study attentional and decision-making networks as well as visual systems in behaving monkeys. My works combined methods from electrophysiology, cognitive psychology, and computational neuroscience, encompassing single-unit recording, EEG, eye tracking, neural signal processing, dynamic modeling, and machine learning. My current projects will adopt microstimulation and microinjection techniques to explore the causal contribution of midbrain superior colliculus to the rhythmic control of selective attention within the thalamocortical attention network. Besides, I will investigate the function of thalamocortical circuits when uncertainty is involved in attention deployment and hope to provide a comprehensive and mechanistic understanding of the thalamus.
