Min Li's research interest is the computational understanding of expectations and predictions, with a focus on processing spatiotemporal properties of multisensory stimuli. With psychophysical approach and computational modelling, her work investigates how the human brain perceives time and space for sensory estimates and action. She now work on the BBSRC-funded Aging Touch project in the SyMoN Lab to investigate the aging effects on multisensory texture perception.

Qualifications

  • BSc Psychology
  • MSc Research Psychology
  • PhD Psychology

Biography

Min Li studied Psychology at degree level at the University of Kent. She took a Research Master degree at the University of Birmingham to pursue research academic career in perceptual science, where she also completed my PhD with Prof. Wing and Dr. Di Luca in 2019. Following this she then joined Prof. Muckli’s lab at the University of Glasgow as a postdoctoral researcher to use high-field fMRI to investigate how predictive information is represented in the visual system. Min Li has recently returned to Birmingham to work on the Aging Touch project, where we use behavioural measures and brain-imaging to understand how surface texture are perceived by young and older participants.
