Weiyong Xu is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, specializing in cognitive neuroscience with a focus on memory, learning, and neural mechanisms of reading acquisition. His research employs advanced neuroimaging techniques including EEG and MEG to investigate how the brain processes speech sounds, letters, and their associations during learning. Xu's research interests center on cognitive neuroscience with emphasis on memory consolidation during rest and sleep, neural mechanisms of reading acquisition across different languages, and the interaction between bodily rhythms (cardiac cycle, respiration) and learning processes. His work bridges cognitive psychology with physiological measures to understand how internal bodily states influence cognitive functions. He has particular expertise in studying letter-speech sound integration in both alphabetic and logographic languages, examining how these processes develop in children and function in literate adults. Analysis of Xu's publication record reveals a clear progression from foundational work on reading acquisition and audiovisual integration to increasingly sophisticated investigations of memory consolidation and interoception. His recent work demonstrates a growing interest in how bodily rhythms modulate learning processes, with several 2023-2025 publications examining cardiac cycle and respiration phase effects on neural processing and learning outcomes. The publications consistently employ rigorous neuroimaging methodologies while addressing theoretically significant questions in cognitive neuroscience. Xu serves as Principal Investigator for the Research Council of Finland project 'The reorganization of memory representations during rest and sleep' (2022-2025) and contributes as a Team Member to several other significant projects including 'Brain-wide memory consolidation in sleep studied with simultaneous electrophysiology and ultra-quiet zero-echo time fMRI' and 'Optimizing learning - synchrony of the brain and body as a tool?'. These projects reflect his expertise in memory research and the intersection of physiological rhythms with cognitive processes.
