We welcomed Jinhyeok Jeong to the lab this Fall 2021. Jin received his bachelor’s degree in Psychology and master’s degree in Cognitive Science at Yonsei University. Under the supervision of Professor Sang Chul Chong, he studied ensemble perception, especially the variability perception of multiple visual items. As a graduate student at Vanderbilt, he is interested in the computational mechanisms of ensemble perception and how it relates to object categorization. Jinhyeok also has great interests in cognitive models of perception, memory, and decision-making processes, and how deep neural networks can be combined with these models. His current first year research project involves developing and testing computational models of ensemble processing and looking at relations with models of categorization, memory, and decision making.
