Joshua (Jun Hwan) Ryu

I am a PhD student studying computational and cognitive neuroscience, advised by Justin Gardner. My primary interest lies in combining computational tools and psychological experiments to understand the neural mechanisms behind complex behaviors in humans. Specifically, my studies focus on how our prior understanding about visual entities affects our perception of them and, to this end, design psychophysical experiments that probe stages of the underlying neural computations. Before coming to Stanford, I studied Mathematics and Cognitive Science at Yale.
