I question the neural mechanisms of the goal-directed behaviors in human visual system.

News

• [Aug 2025] Our paper got accepted at NeurIPS 2025! After learning stimulus–reward associations, higher-value information is maintained with greater stability in working memory. We introduce maximizing utility as the objective of WM, instead of minimizing error.

• [May 2025] I attended VSS 2025 to present a poster showing working memory resource allocation is modulated by reward.
