Working as a Graduate Assistant at the Chen Lab on Cognitive Neuroscience. Responsible for creating 3D synthetic images using MATLAB serving as crucial stimuli in cognitive experiments aimed at unraveling the science behind memory retrieval processes. These experiments utilize realistic stimuli and behaviors, including movies and narratives, to delve into the complex mechanisms by which individuals construct and recall memories of real-world episodes. Through my contributions, I aid in advancing our understanding of how mnemonic and sensory systems dynamically interact to shape our perception of the present moment, thus informing broader inquiries in psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.
