Bio

Dr. Junjie Wu is a Visiting Fellow at Macquarie University, working with Dr. Xin Wang, and an Assistant Professor in the School of Psychology at Tianjin Normal University. He received his Ph.D. in Basic Psychology from Beijing Normal University in 2020. His research employs a wide range of research techniques and analytical methods, including neuromodulation (e.g., transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS), neuroimaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI; functional near-infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS; electroencephalography, EEG), and eye-tracking. His methodological toolkit also encompasses mixed-effects modeling (MEM), structural equation modeling (SEM), Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA), Multivoxel Pattern Analysis (MVPA), machine learning (ML), and large language models (LLMs). For data analysis and experimental programming, he regularly uses SPSS, MATLAB, R, PsychoPy, and E-Prime.
