Master's Student
Sujung's research interests lie in the interaction between visual attention and emotion, particularly in how social stimuli influence attentional processes. She is currently studying attentional suppression mechanisms associated with infant face and emotional face stimuli.
Master's Student
Jinho's research focuses on how the brain filters out irrelevant information. He is currently investigating feature-based suppression mechanisms that reduce interference and support attentional selection in real-world environments.
Master's Student
Hee Seong's research interests focus on how top-down attentional sets influence the efficiency of visual selection. She is currently investigating how scene context and semantic information modulate attentional capture and suppression.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Jihwan's research interests center on the relationship between addiction and visual attention. He is currently examining how nicotine dependence severity influences attentional capture and suppression.
