I specialise in the cognitive neural mechanisms and intervention studies that negative emotions affect the reasoning process. I also have a strong interest in semantic processing, studying the neural basis of taxnonmic and thematic relations. In my research, I use behavioral and EPR methods to explore their mechanisms of influence on (gene/disease) inductive tasks and the role of dual-processes, and delve into the effects of cognitive training and emotional regulation on improving reasoning performance in emotional contexts. My work aims to contribute to the mechanisms by which emotions influence reasoning processes and provide new insights and strategies for maintaining and enhancing reasoning abilities in emotional contexts. I look forward to contributing to this field through my tireless efforts.
