À propos de la conférencière:
Prof. Biyu J. He was born in Xinxiang, China, and excelled in math and science from a young age. She graduated from Tsinghua University at the age of 18, and moved to the United States to pursue her PhD in neuroscience.
At the age of 24, He developed a research program with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Institutes of Health as part of an intramural research initiative for recent PhD recipients.
At the Perception and Brain Dynamics Laboratory at New York University, He uses multimodal brain imaging tools including functional magnetic resonance imaging, noninvasive and invasive electrophysiology, and computational modeling to conduct research on the neural bases of human perception. Her research also indicates that conscious and unconscious perception depend on intricate interactions between sensory-evoked and spontaneous brain activity.
She currently is an Associate Professor at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine’s departments of neurology, neuroscience as well as radiology.
