Postdoctoral Fellow

Kyeong-Jin Tark
Kyeong-Jin received B.A. and M.A. from Yonsei University (advisor: Min-Shik Kim) and Ph.D. from New York University (advisor: Clayton Curtis). Then, as a post-doctoral fellow, she worked with Do-Joon Yi and Min-Shik Kim at Yonsei University. Since she joined our lab, she has investigated the neural representation of ensemble statistics and how moment-to-moment fluctuation in attention modulates neural responses to visual stimuli using fMRI.

ByeongJun Park
ByeongJun is a first-year graduate student. He received a bachelor’s degree in Global Biomedical Engineering(GBME) at Sungkyunkwan University, and is also currently in an Master-PhD combined course in GBME. He is interested in intrinsic rewards & motives that occur in situations where there is no extrinsic goal. He aims to simply express his findings in a single, ordered formula mathematically. He loves the act of creating: composing music, drawing, making games, and writing.N
