- Neural mechanisms of perception in biological motion and social interaction.
- Cognitive neural mechanisms of multisensory integration.
- Visual attention and time perception.
I am YuHui Cheng, a lecturer at the School of Psychology, Nanjing Normal University. I graduated in June 2023 with a Ph.D. in Science from the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. From January 2022 to January 2023, I conducted my doctoral joint training at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior at Radboud University, the Netherlands.
I employ various research methods, including psychophysics, EEG (electroencephalography), fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), and computational modeling. I am currently accepting undergraduate and master's students in my research laboratory. I welcome enthusiastic and dedicated students who are passionate about this research field to contact me (send an email to chengyh@nnu.edu.cn or 94038@njnu.edu.cn ).
