Research Interests:

Systematic study of higher cognitive functions, including prospective memory, working memory and executive functions (e.g., multitasking, inhibition)
Investigate cognitive and neural meachanisms, lifespan development of these cognitive functions
Explore cognitive enhancement of these cognitive functions in healthy population and their clinical implications
