My research focus is on the integration of group behaviors, neural basis and AI: Studying bounded rational behaviors and their neural basis via behavioral and neurocognitive experiments; Revealing underlying mechanisms by virtue of evolutionary and dynamical models; Converting a number of neural functions into brain-like AI; Applying AI algorithms and methods to uncovering brain and a variety of complex systems in nature and society.
