    Yuanning Li received Ph.D. in neural computation and machine learning from Carnegie Mellon University in 2018. He is now a postdoctoral scholar at the UCSF Center for Integrative Neuroscience, under the supervision of Dr. Edward Chang. His research interests primarily lie in the intersection between computational and cognitive neuroscience, particularly in developing and applying statistical machine learning methods to analyze neural data and to understand the mechanisms underlying human cognitive processes. He currently focuses on using ECoG and computational methods to study the neural basis of speech perception in human brain.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
