Principal Investigator's MessageVisual Cognition Laboratory (VCL) is located at Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, National Central University, Taiwan. Human visual cognition and attention control are key research areas of this lab. VCL is dedicated to use its well-researched works on visual search and attention control and to develop products that can be used by humans to improve their visual cognition and attention control. Our current study interests:

History
The Visual and Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory (VCL) was founded by Professor Chi-Hung Juan, one of the founding faculty members of the Graduate Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at National Central University (NCU). Since its establishment, the laboratory has aimed to build a multidisciplinary research platform centered on the study of human visual perception and cognitive processes, integrating psychology, neuroscience, and engineering approaches to explore the neural foundations of the human mind.
In its early development, the VCL focused primarily on behavioral and psychophysical research, gradually expanding toward multimodal neurophysiological methods. In 2004 (Year 93 of the ROC), the lab established its first Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) system, enabling causal investigations of brain function. Later, in 2012 (Year 101 of the ROC), a high-density EEG system was introduced, allowing simultaneous measurement and modulation of brain activity to study real-time neural dynamics underlying attention, working memory, and cognitive control.
The VCL has participated in several national-level research initiatives, including the “Top University Research Project — Neural Mechanisms and Theoretical Modeling of Attention, Working Memory, and Cognitive Control.” This project solidified the lab’s leading role in advancing theoretical and empirical understanding of cognitive control and brain dynamics. Through long-term collaborations with academic and medical institutions in Taiwan and abroad, the VCL continues to bridge basic neuroscience, clinical applications, and human–machine interaction research.
To date, the lab has trained over forty master’s and doctoral students, many of whom have gone on to contribute to academic and research institutions worldwide. With its enduring commitment to rigorous science and interdisciplinary innovation, the Visual and Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory has become a key hub for cognitive neuroscience research in Taiwan, dedicated to uncovering the mechanisms of human cognition and intelligent systems.
