Chunyu joined the MSense Lab in 2025 after completing his master’s degree at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His research focuses on how the human brain integrates past and present information in dynamic and uncertain environments, aiming to understand the continuity mechanisms linking perception, memory, and decision-making. He combines behavioral experiments, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and computational modeling, including Bayesian inference and variational autoencoder (VAE) algorithms, to characterize the coupling between trial-by-trial belief updating and neural dynamics. His broader interests include neurocognitive modeling, multisensory integration, and brain–computer interface (BCI) systems.
