معرفی
Zijiang J He, PhD, is a Professor and Distinguished University Scholar in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Louisville. His research focuses on visual perception, particularly the mechanisms underlying 3D depth perception and middle-level vision. He holds a B.S. in Biophysics from the University of Science and Technology of China (1983), M.S. in Neurobiology from Shanghai Institute of Physiology (1986), and Ph.D. in Physiological Optics & Neuroscience from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (1990). Postdoctoral training was completed at Harvard University (1994).
Research interests include space vision mechanisms and middle-level vision processes. His lab explores how the brain integrates 2D retinal images into 3D spatial perception, leveraging virtual reality and psychophysical methods. Key contributions include studies on sensory eye dominance, binocular rivalry, and perceptual learning protocols for amblyopia. He leads the Visual Perception and Cognition Lab, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches combining neuroscience, computational modeling, and behavioral experiments.
Notable achievements include the Distinguished University Scholar title and impactful publications in *Nature*, *Science Advances*, and *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences*. His work bridges ecological regularities and neural processing, advancing understanding of visual system adaptations to spatial environments.
