Research Statement
Neuronal oscillations are known to be critical to human perception. Synchronization of these rhythmic activities plays a key role in the communication between different brain regions. I seek to understand how different cortical layers benefit brain oscillations to shape an effective inter-areal communication. I am also interested in the question of how our brain employs neural activity through phase code and rate code during feedforward and feedback influences.
