I have extensive research experience in areas such as the cognitive mechanisms of speech production and the neural mechanisms of language processing, and I have achieved a series of original results. In recent years, I have focused on researching the mechanisms of lexical access in speech production, accumulating rich practical experience in experimental design, brain imaging data processing, and theoretical analysis. I have also been exploring new fields, with research interests that encompass bilingual studies, conceptual networks, object recognition, and spatial cognition. Looking ahead, I am eager to continue expanding my research horizons and contributing to the understanding of these complex cognitive processes.
