Hi there 👋

I'm Zitong Lu from 🇨🇳 now in 🇺🇸 !

To be an experimental psychologist, a cognitive neuroscientist, an AI scientist.

• 😉🎓 I am a third-year PhD candidate in cognitive neuroscience working with Dr. Julie Golomb in Vision and Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at The Ohio State University. Also, I am the OSU EEGlab manager！

  I got a graduate Minor degree in statistics in 2023 and a MSci degree in psychology in 2022 from The Ohio State University. And I graduated with a MSci degree in cognitive neuroscience from East China Normal University (Shanghai, China) in 2021. Also, I was a member of Memory and Emotion Lab led by Dr. Yixuan Ku in Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) and a research assistant in Peng Cheng National Laboratory (Shenzhen, China). Before that, I received a BEng degree in software engineering from Northeastern University (Shenyang, China) in 2018.

• 👀🔑 Visual Perception, Cognitive Computational Neuroscience, NeuroAI.

• 😅🔆 I’m the author of NeuroRA and PyCTRSA - Two Python toolboxes for representational analysis.

• 😋:📔 I'm also the author of the first Chinese Python EEG data analysis handbook.

• 📧📬 If you have any question about my projects, you can email me: zitonglu1996@gmail.com / lu.2637@osu.edu

• 😃💡 Research Interests: To understand how we process object information in the complex and dynamics world using behavioral, EEG, fMRI and computational approaches and building more brain-like artificial vision models.

• 😉👻 Focused Topics:

• 1️⃣ Neural and behavioral mechanisms of visual perception: (A) Object-location binding; (B) Depth and 3D perception; (C) Visual and semantic representations; (D) Generally spatial representation.

• 2️⃣ Mapping representations between human brains and artificial neural networks: (A) Representational alignment between human brains and artificial neural networks; (B) Brain encoding models; (C) Inter-individual neural converters; (D) Reverse engineering to interpret neural mechanisms.
