Biography

Sam Ling is an Associate Professor in the Brain, Behavior, & Cognition Program at Boston University. His research focuses on how the brain processes information under conditions of limited capacity, particularly in visual contexts. Ling employs a variety of methodologies including psychophysics, computational modeling, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore the mechanisms by which attentional systems prioritize relevant information from an overwhelming amount of sensory input. His work aims to unravel the complexities of visual perception and attention, contributing to a deeper understanding of cognitive neuroscience and visual neuroscience.
