About Yazhou
I am a PhD Candidate at NYU and working on pain and computational neuroscience. (How to pronounce “Yazhou”(雅洲): like “Yay-Jo”)
I am deeply passionate about understanding how the brain works. My research interests include perception, memory and the mechanism of neural disorders.
If you are a potential collaborator with similar interests, feel free to email me at yazhou.laugh@gmail.com. I am open to discussing my current projects or exploring potential cooperation.
