Portrait photo of Juneau Wang in front of a pink, blossoming tree.

Hello! I’m Juneau.

I am a PhD student in Brain, Behavior, & Cognition at Boston University studying vision, audition, and attention. My work uses psychophysics, fMRI, neural decoding, and statistical modeling to understand how the brain processes sensory information. I am especially interested in neuroimaging, computational modeling, data science, virtual reality, and human-centered applications of cognitive neuroscience.

Outside of research, I am a singer, saxophonist, and percussionist.

Next conference: Society for Neuroscience 2026, Washington, DC — see you there!
