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.

Hun S. Choi
Hun obtained his Ph.D. in 2019 in Cambridge with his thesis regarding the neurobiology of incremental speech comprehension. The central goal of his research is to establish a better understanding of the complex relationship between human brain dynamics and cognition. His approach employs a variety of methods – examining neural dynamics at the neurophysiological and hemodynamic levels using different computational models.

ByeongJun Park
ByeongJun received a bachelor’s degree in Global Biomedical Engineering(GBME) at Sungkyunkwan University. 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.
