Biography

Hongmi Lee studies how the human brain stores and recalls memories of naturalistic experiences. Her research explores the life of real-world complex structures formed by interconnected events. She examines how events, elements such as people, actions, thoughts, and contexts interfere with the recall of memory, and how the mind is capable of recreating structures that allow us to vividly relive past events. Some of the key questions she investigates include how the brain represents the components of remembered events, how connections or disconnections between events influence memory, and how spontaneous actions and thoughts shape the formation and retrieval of memories. To find answers to these questions, she employs behavioral experiments and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
