About Me

Hi, I am Qingqing Yang, and I just graduated with an M.A. in Psychology from New York University this May 2023. Finally, I am receiving financial recognition for my research efforts now:


As an Assistant Research Scientist in the Clay Curtis lab at NYU, I’m running a TMS, fMRI, and eye-tracking integrated spatial working memory study, which focuses on the role of parietal cortex on resource allocation strategy.


I’m also an Assistant Research Scientist in the Cate Hartley lab at NYU with Dr. Noam Goldway, investigating the relationship among decision-making (reinforcement learning parameters), developmental and psychiatric disorders, and neural factors.

Research Interests

  • Cognition: memory, attention, cognitive control
  • Computational Neuroscience: dynamic and adaptive neural activity, neural geometry, sensorimotor hierarchy, mental states
  • Applied Machine Learning: reinforcement learning, artificial neural networks, Bayesian Inferences

I love computational modeling in general. I question how information is embedded and processed through high-dimensional neural population activities to perform complex functions.

Nowadays, advanced technologies influence the lives of everybody. I wish to devote my talent to this meaningful cause and bring well-being to society.
