Yang Li

Biology
neurobiology, neural code, memory

"Poisoned" by books written by Francis Crick, Eric Kandel and David Marr, Yang has genuine passion in the neurobiological correlates of consciousness, or, to put it more reasonably, cognitive function like memory, emotion, social bonds. Trained as a traditional biology experimentalist, he has the ambition to bridge experiment and theory, to develop (ultimately) the model/theory that truly explains how brain works. When not doing science, he might be playing with his cat, practicing the violin, trying/cooking delicious food, or reading Haruki Murakami.
