Research Group

Attention and memory lab, led by Benchi Wang, mainly focus on the research regarding a wide array of subjects within the field of attention and memory. To explore these interesting research, we adopt a wide range of methods, including behavioral testing, eye-tracking, EEG-recording, functional MRI, and modeling.
