Li Li is Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at NYU Shanghai and Global Network Professor at NYU. Prior to joining NYU Shanghai, she was an Associate Professor of Psychology at The University of Hong Kong. She holds a PhD in Cognitive Science from Brown (Providence, RI, US), and a BS in Psychology from Peking University (Beijng, China). Professor Li’s research integrates behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and neuroimaging techniques to examine how humans extract and use visual information for the control of actions and the related neurodegenerative motor diseases. She is an Associate Editor for Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews (Elsevier) and a Subject Editor for Displays (Elsevier).
