Hello, I’m Jiyoon.
I am interested in how people effectively process incoming sensory information through attention. My research aims to study its neural mechanisms using EEG and artificial neural networks.
I’m currently studying at University of Toronto as a Ph.D. student in Psychology. I received my B.S. and M.S. in Psychology and a B.E. in Computer Science from Korea University.
