Shin Hyeyoung

Shin Hyeyoung is an Assistant Professor in the Department of BIO at Seoul National University. Her research focuses on neurobiology, specifically investigating the neural mechanisms of perception as an inference process rather than a faithful representation of sensory input. Her work integrates systems and computational neuroscience to explore how the brain processes sensory information through corticocortical communication. Shin's research employs techniques such as two-photon imaging and machine learning to decode neural activity. She joined Seoul National University in 2023 after serving as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.

Hyeyoung Shin is a researcher at Seoul National University, focusing on neuroscience, particularly system neuroscience, perception, neocortex, and brain oscillation. Their work explores how neural activity, such as transient beta frequency events and gamma spiking, influences perceptual processes and behavior across species. Shin's research also investigates the role of cortical inhibitory interneurons and inter-areal computations in sensory inference and tactile perception. Using advanced techniques like two-photon holographic mesoscopes, they probe the functional roles of neural circuits at cellular resolution. Their studies highlight the importance of neural variability and brain rhythms in cognitive functions.
