Guohao Zhang
PhD Student · Faculty of Psychology, Beijing Normal University
Hi! I’m Guohao Zhang, a PhD student in Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology, Beijing Normal University, which I joined in 2025.
Before that, I earned my MSc in Psychology at Beijing Normal University (2022–2025) and my BSc at Southwest University of Science and Technology (2018–2022). Along the way I helped build NOD, a large-scale fMRI/MEG/EEG dataset of the brain responding to thousands of naturalistic images — a resource for studying how we recognize objects in the messy, real world.
My research lives at the intersection of brains and machines. I study how the human visual system represents the natural world with large-scale neuroimaging, and I’m increasingly drawn to NeuroAI — asking what artificial and biological intelligence can teach each other. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about giving language-model agents a more human-like memory, and about decentralized science as a way to make research more open, reproducible, and collaborative.
Outside the lab, I write and record my own music. I believe good science, like a good song, comes from patient iteration and a little play — so please don’t hesitate to reach out if any of this resonates.
