We aim to build the best research group in cognition and health research with real-world impacts, including on health practice, public opinions, and social policy. Our lab studies cognitive processes underlying human behaviors. Our efforts aim toward three domains:

1) Vision and cognition: What are the basic characteristics of vision/cognition and how do they drive behaviors? How does vision/cognition change across lifespan and how it manifests in different populations? What is the neural basis of vision/cognition? 

2) Health and clinical applications: What are the cognitive mechanisms behind health behavior and disorders? How do we promote well-being and human potentials by changing mindsets, attitudes, and behaviors?

3) Science and policy: How to achieve personal improvements and establish better social policies based on scientific evidence? How might we better disseminate such knowledge? How to go from knowledge to actions? How to accelerate the development of psychological education, research, and service in China? How to promote the voice of Chinese psychology on the world stage?
