Research Description

Prof He’s lab combines electrophysiological, anatomical, and engineering approaches to understand hearing, learning, memory, and attention. Prof. He is involved in drug development for brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, tinnitus, amblyopia, and depression. The drug development projects are carried out in collaboration with the Hong Kong Institute of Science and Innovation, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Research Description

Jixing Li is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Translation at City University of Hong Kong. She earned her PhD in Linguistics from Cornell University in 2019 and completed her postdoctoral training at NYU Abu Dhabi’s Neuroscience of Language Lab. Her interdisciplinary research leverages computational modeling to investigate how the human brain comprehends language, bridging linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and natural language processing. Her work has been published in Nature Computational Science, eLife, Journal of Neuroscience, Imaging Neuroscience, Scientific Data etc. and top NLP conferences ACL, NAACL, and EMNLP.

Research Description

We study the mechanistic understanding of sensorimotor processing and the cellular mechanisms of learning and memory using modern techniques such as in vivo multichannel recording, two-photon imaging, in vivo whole-cell recording, and various behavioral tasks. This research will ultimately be applied to alleviate various brain diseases.
