Dr. Jian Li is a Principal Investigator at the Department of Psychology, and the IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research at Peking University. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Cognitive Neuroscience & Neuroeconomics at Baylor College of Medicine in 2007, and a M.B.A. degree in Economics from New York University in 2010. He was a Research Scientist at the Department of Psychology before he came back to China in 2012. Dr. Li is interested in human neural mechanisms and cognition relating to reward-based learning and decision-making, and Chinese National Science Foundation.
