Dr. Dajun Xing’s research interests focus on neural mechanisms of visual perception and brain oscillations by using electrophysiological, anatomical and computational approaches. In particular, his work aims to understand how visual system processes visual information (such as brightness, color, motion) for perception, what is the relationship between brain oscillations and visual perception (and other cognitive functions), how oscillations are generated in the brain, and what oscillations can tell us about the brain. By answering the questions about perception and oscillations, his ultimate goal is to understand the information processing in the most complex nonlinear dynamic system, brain.
