Dr. Ting Wang, is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Brain Science and Rehabilitation Medicine, South China Normal University (co-supervised by Prof. Xuchu Weng). Her main research area is attention and perceptual decision making. She is dedicated to exploring 1) the neural mechanisms of spatial attention; 2) the plasticity of brain function; and 3) emotion and cognition. Her pioneering work includes: 1) verifying that TMS stimulation of the brain can simulate unilateral neglect and support right brain dominance; 2) resolving the decades debate between Hileman's contralateral spatial theory and Kinsbourne's inhibitory equilibrium theory through meta-analysis; and 3) revealing the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying the alerting and orienting effects of spatial attention through computational modeling. She uses various research techniques include meta-analysis, structural equation modeling, network analysis, big data online experiments, brain imaging (including EEG event-related potential and time-frequency analyses, resting-state and task-state fMRI, and white matter fiber tract tracking), and computational modeling.
