Director
Hakwan Lau
As the director of the SIN group, Hakwan aims to uncover the fundamental reason humans experience the world differently from other animals. Learn more about his profile here.
Research Professor
Qi Lin
Qi is broadly interested in learning and memory, and how individual differences in these processes interact with other aspects of the mind.
Postdoc
Tomoya Nakamura
Tomoya has a background in psychophysics, specializing in the temporal aspects of visual perception. His current research utilizes fMRI to explore the fundamental distinctions between perceptual and mnemonic processes.
Jane Yook
Jane’s research interests stem from how we make sense of our world, encompassing areas such as visual perception and decision-making. She uses psychophysics and neuroimaging techniques in her work.
Konstantin Demin
Kostya conducts neurofeedback experiments with humans and rodents. His research interests include intelligence and consciousness.
Student
Olga Gulka
Olga’s research interests include cognitive functions—particularly memory and attention—and research methods such as functional MRI and eye-tracking.
Sara Mohammadzadeh
Sara is a Master’s student interested in consciousness and unconscious processing. She aims to use fMRI and computational tools to explore how brain activity patterns can be used to treat phobias without conscious exposure.
Research Assistant
Hyun Seo Lee (Hannah)
Hannah’s research interests revolve around attention, perception, and decision- making in changing dynamics, using psychophysics and neuroimaging. She likes tea and cake.
Jun Seo Hwang
Jun Seo conducts psychophysics experiments on humans and monkeys. His research interests center on consciousness.
Raihyung Lee
Raihyung conducts behavioral experiments on humans. His research interest focuses on metacognition.
Wonyi Che
Wonyi conducts psychophysics experiments on humans and rodents. Her research interests include memory, aging, neurodevelopmental disorders, and dementia.
Lab Manager
Chae Eun Bang
Chaeeun studied political science and international relations, with a particular focus on European integration and how supranational institutions shape policy and cooperation. As a lab manager, she bridges administrative operations and research support, facilitating smooth and effective collaboration across teams.
Mina Kim
Mina has a background in the performing arts. She supports research by overseeing lab operations and fostering collaboration.
SKKU Faculty Collaborators
Hansem Sohn
Hansem investigates how the brain measures and processes time using multiple approaches: behavioral experiments, computational modeling, human neuroimaging, and electrophysiology in non-human primates.
Joonyeol Lee
Joonyeol explores how attention and cognition modulate sensory neural representation and transmission of the neural information to the downstream motor areas in the brain.
Kayuet Liu
Kayuet’s group focuses on mental health conditions like depression and anxiety disorders, and their link to aphantasia, using large cohort data analysis.
Seng Bum Michael Yoo
Michael is interested in understanding the neural population inferring the world when an agent is foraging/hunting in interactive and dynamic environments.
Seok-Jun Hong
Seok-Jun’s lab specializes in brain network modeling and the data-driven subtyping of developmental conditions. His research integrates neuroinformatics, machine learning, and neuroimaging data across human and non-human primates.
