Chaoxiong Ye


General description

Dr. Chaoxiong Ye is an Academy Research Fellow at the Department of Psychology. He has received two PhDs, in cognitive science (2018) and psychology (2020), and has published more than 40 papers in peer-reviewed journals since 2014. He also holds the Title of Docent (i.e., Adjunt Professor/Associate Professor) in cognitive neuroscience at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University.

As the principal investigator, he has received more than 1.5 million euros in funding since 2015. He is currently supervising one postdoctoral researcher, five doctoral students and a bunch of master students, and serves on the editorial board of BMC Psychology (Editorial Board Member), PLOS ONE (Academic Editor), Frontiers in Neuroscience (Associate Editor), and Frontiers in Cognition (Review Editor).

​​​​​​​He has been actively promoting international collaboration between his research group and others across the globe. Since 2022, he has visited a few prestigious universities, including Stanford University, University of Chicago, University of Maryland, Michigan State University, University of California, Riverside, University of Toronto, McMaster University, and University of Oulu, to promote academic exchange. Additionally, he has hosted visiting scholars from the University of Chicago, McMaster University, Jilin University, Sichuan Normal University, and Minnan Normal University at the University of Jyvaskyla, further enriching the global research community.

Principal investigator (PI) in the ongoing project: Cognitive and neural mechanisms for processing of memorable visual stimuli (Research Council of Finland, #355369, 2023 – 2027, 927 018 euros)

Recent evidence suggests that some pictures (with high memorability) tend to be remembered more easily by a given observer, even if they have not seen these pictures before. However, how stimulus memorability affects the formation of the long-term memory of a stimulus is still unclear. By measuring behavioral performance, tracking eye movements, and recording brain activity, we will answer the following questions: 1) What are the cognitive determinants underlying the effect of memorability on short-term memory? 2) If the stimuli are more memorable in short-term memory, are the long-term memory traces also more robust? 3) What is the neural basis underlying the effects of memorability on memory formation? This research will help aid in understanding the mechanisms of memorability, and can, in the long run, help develop teaching methods that promote learning and memory functions, as well as develop more effective diagnosis and intervention strategies for people with memory difficulties.
