Yulan D. Chen

Yulan D. Chen is a Researcher in the Child Study Center at Yale University’s Yale School of Medicine. Their work focuses on understanding visual perception mechanisms, developmental neuroscience, and neural processing of sensory information. They are affiliated with the Cho Lab, contributing to research on visual cortex function and cognitive development.

Research interests include disparity processing in visual systems, temporal dynamics of perception, and how neural mechanisms underpin sensory and cognitive functions. Their studies explore topics such as contrast sensitivity, blur effects on perception, and developmental trajectories of visual categorization in infants.

Recent work has analyzed neural evidence for spatio-temporal channels in disparity sensitivity and the cognitive penetrability of scene representations. Their findings advance understanding of binocular vision and developmental neuroscience. Yulan has received recognition through professional engagement and travel awards, contributing to collaborative research initiatives within the Yale community.
