I got my PhD in Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University's Department of Psychology under the supervision of Isabel Gauthier and Tom Palmeri. While I was a student I also worked with and learned from Will Hayward and T.-C. Chan. Now I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. My research interest concerns with perceptual expertise, object recognition, culture and perception, consciousness, etc.

Aiden Tong- MPhil student

During my education as a business student majoring in marketing and management, I became interested in psychology where I found the discipline to be closely related to many theories and applications in business. I would like to learn more about cognitive mechanisms that drive people to behave in a particular way, which motivated my applications to the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology, and, followed by the Mphil in Psychology. I recently studied how smartphone games might induce prime subseqent performances in cognitive tasks, under the supervision of Prof. Alan Wong.

Research interests: cognitive changes subsequent to video gaming

Terri Ng – Research Assistant

In past few years, I was responsible for data collection by behavioral and brain imaging methods (functional MRI and EEG). I love to get involve in scientific studies because I am curious to understand how our brain processes under certain circumstances. It can help to explain the human behaviors from the point of view in cognitive psychology.
