About Me

Hi, I am Qingqing Yang, and I am a PhD student in Cogitive Neuroscience at the Ohio State University from Aug 2024, working with Prof. Hsin-Hung Li and Prof. Julie Golomb. last update: Aug 2025

Research Interests

• Cognition: visual perception, memory, learning and decision making
• Neural Imaging: fMRI, dMRI, EEG, TMS

I love computational modeling in general. I question how metal computation is realized to perform complex functions among human and models, and how the deepened understanding of each aspect benefit each other.

News

• [Aug 2025] Our paper got accepted at NeurIPS 2025! We shows that after learning stimulus–reward associations, both humans and RNNs maintain higher-value information with greater stability in working memory, where We introduce a normative account with maximizing utility as the objective.

• [May 2025] I attended VSS 2025 to present a poster of working memory resource allocation project.

• [Dec 2024] I attended NeurIPS 2024 Unireps workshop to present our paper on how model modality and training objectives impact the brain-transformers alignment during visual perception.
