About Me
Hello! This is Sanghyun Yi. I'm interested in bridging the gap between biological and artificial intelligence. I wonder if a clue could emerge from harmonizing decision neuroscience with artificial intelligence. I’m thus interested in bi-directional research: understanding the mystery of human decision making by machine learning algorithms and solving machine learning problems from the results of neuroscience. In my free time, I love going to the gym:) Please check my CV for more, and up-to-date information.
