Brief Introduction
Professor Liqiang Huang works in the Department of Psychology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Before joining CUHK, he completed his PhD at the University of California, San Diego, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University. His earlier research followed a traditional theory-driven approach, particularly in developing the Boolean Map Theory of visual attention into a precise and broad framework. After dedicating two decades to this work, he has since shifted his perspective, now believing that a better approach is conducting large-scale experiments followed by "comprehensive exploration" models (see: https://www.pbs-trinity.org/ce).
