1985年華東師范大學(xué)心理系本科畢業(yè),1995年獲University of Louisville實驗心理學(xué)博士學(xué)位,1995年至2003年分別在University of Houston和University of California, Berkeley做博士后研究,2003年任中國科學(xué)院神經(jīng)科學(xué)研究所研究員(百人計劃),2006年任北京師范大學(xué)認(rèn)知神經(jīng)科學(xué)與學(xué)習(xí)國家重點實驗室研究員,2008年任教育部特聘教授并獲國家杰出青年基金,2012年起任北京大學(xué)心理系(現(xiàn)北京大學(xué)心理與認(rèn)知科學(xué)學(xué)院)教授暨北京大學(xué)-清華大學(xué)聯(lián)合生命科學(xué)中心高級研究員。目前研究受國家自然科學(xué)基金重點項目和北京大學(xué)-清華大學(xué)聯(lián)合生命科學(xué)中心支持。
每年通過北京大學(xué)心理與認(rèn)知科學(xué)學(xué)院和北京大學(xué)-清華大學(xué)聯(lián)合生命科學(xué)中心招收博士研究生,歡迎有心理、數(shù)理、工程、計算機、醫(yī)學(xué)等專業(yè)背景,并且對認(rèn)知神經(jīng)科學(xué)和視覺科學(xué)感興趣的同學(xué)申請。
本實驗室主要運用心理物理學(xué)方法研究人類視覺過程以及相關(guān)的眼科與視光學(xué)臨床應(yīng)用。近年的主要研究興趣在于知覺學(xué)習(xí)的心理物理學(xué)與腦機制,以及字符(漢字)識別的視覺機制和輪廓整合過程。
知覺學(xué)習(xí):
知覺學(xué)習(xí)指通過訓(xùn)練來提高感覺辨別能力的過程,被認(rèn)為是在系統(tǒng)水平上發(fā)映了大腦的神經(jīng)可塑性。近二十年來有大量的關(guān)于知覺學(xué)習(xí)的心理物理學(xué),神經(jīng)生理學(xué),腦成像和計算神經(jīng)科學(xué)的研究成果出現(xiàn),是認(rèn)知神經(jīng)科學(xué)的一個重要研究領(lǐng)域。
我們的主要研究貢獻(xiàn)在于用創(chuàng)新性實驗范式,挑戰(zhàn)了視知覺學(xué)習(xí)研究關(guān)于視網(wǎng)膜位置特異性與朝向特異性的的基本假設(shè)以及基于這些假設(shè)的各種知覺學(xué)習(xí)理論 (Current Biology, 2008; J Neuroscience, 2010)。知覺學(xué)習(xí)因其位置與朝向特異性類似于視覺初級皮層(V1)的網(wǎng)膜拓?fù)鋵?yīng)特性和朝向選擇性,長期以來被認(rèn)為反映了V1神經(jīng)可塑性。但我們的研究證明知覺學(xué)習(xí)可以在不同網(wǎng)膜位置和朝向間完全遷移,位置與朝向特異性實際上是特定訓(xùn)練方式的結(jié)果,而和知覺學(xué)習(xí)并無關(guān)系。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)還表明知覺學(xué)習(xí)是一個超出視覺皮層的高級認(rèn)知過程?;谶@些重要研究發(fā)現(xiàn),我們初步提出了一個基于規(guī)則的知覺學(xué)習(xí)理論 (Rule-based perceptual learning theory) 來解釋知覺學(xué)習(xí)及其特異性與遷移的腦機制 (J Neuroscience, 2010)。目前我們進(jìn)行的大量實驗皆在于驗證和發(fā)展這一理論,以及研究這一理論在臨床視覺訓(xùn)練中的意義。
我們還發(fā)現(xiàn)對多個視覺刺激的知覺學(xué)習(xí)依賴于刺激的時間模式編碼, 當(dāng)刺激的時間模式固定時才能獲得好的學(xué)習(xí)效應(yīng),而隨機時間模式無法產(chǎn)生學(xué)習(xí)效果(Nature Neuroscience, 2005)。此外大腦學(xué)習(xí)多個刺激時,需要借助刺激的次序和節(jié)奏信息,或者刺激的概念或語義標(biāo)簽,來幫助大腦識別各感覺刺激(PLoS Biology, 2008)。據(jù)此提出的刺激標(biāo)簽?zāi)P?(Stimulus tagging model) 認(rèn)為,大腦同時學(xué)習(xí)多個刺激時,需要在一定的時間窗口內(nèi)通過刺激的固有次序和節(jié)奏, 或者在概念或語義水平上,對各刺激進(jìn)行識別,從而幫助大腦將注意指向相應(yīng)的神經(jīng)過程,以在高級決策單元和各感覺刺激輸入之間建立相應(yīng)的功能連接來實現(xiàn)知覺學(xué)習(xí)。
字符(漢字)識別:
我們發(fā)現(xiàn)筆劃數(shù)對漢字識別的大小閾限只有有限的影響,而刺激間的幾何矩差能較好地模擬根據(jù)識別錯誤建立的混淆矩陣。這些結(jié)果證明漢字識別閾限主要受刺 激的總體特征所決定, 而較少受細(xì)節(jié)特征的影響(IOVS, 2007;Journal of Vision, 2009)。我們還對漢字識別在周邊視覺的表現(xiàn)及相關(guān)的視覺擁擠現(xiàn)象做了研究,發(fā)現(xiàn)了周邊視覺漢字識別存在著內(nèi)部擁擠現(xiàn)象,以及top-down因素對視覺擁擠的影響(Vision Research, 2009)。最新的研究則發(fā)現(xiàn),相當(dāng)成分的視覺信息在視覺擁擠過程的影響下并沒有如當(dāng)前理論所假設(shè)的喪失在識別過程中,而是在視覺記憶或注意過程中出現(xiàn)了錯位。這一發(fā)現(xiàn)為視覺擁擠現(xiàn)象提供了新的認(rèn)識(Journal of Vision, 2012)。
輪廓整合:
我們在對周邊視覺輪廓整合的研究中, 發(fā)現(xiàn)在減少刺激不確定性后, 周邊視覺中的輪廓整合能力與中心視覺相當(dāng) (J Vision, 2006)。我們最近的研究興趣在輪廓整合的時間與空間特征 (VSS09, VSS10)。
