Driven by a fascination with the human brain, I pursued my Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience at FBS. FBS offered an excellent environment, allowing me to grow in this field, conduct research, and learn new techniques and subjects. We had easy access to brain imaging machines such as MEG and fMRI. Moreover, our lab’s atmosphere was friendly and organized. These made my research life quite enjoyable with having strong support from my supervisor and lab mates.
After graduating, fueled by my passion for brain research, I aimed to continue in academia and advance my research career. I found a postdoctoral position at RIKEN, where I now study conscious visual perception, the neural correlates of our first-person visual experience. The skills and experience I gained at FBS smoothly connected to my current research, despite a shift in my research topic. This solid foundation has given me a great start in my postdoctoral research.
I encourage each of you to thoughtfully choose your research interest and its corresponding lab, then make the best out of FBS support and environment to grow and conduct impactful research.
