• Mind-Reader?

• Consulting?

What I do is…

• Cognitive neuroscience

• Things related to brain

– How does the brain encode and maintain information ?

– What’s the neural mechanism of selective attention?

To conclude this internship in Germany

• A journey to shaping my and others brains by intensive stimulation

– During the work time: I do some terrible things on others brain

– During the free time: I do some wonderful things on my own brain

Works: What have I done with others brain

• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

– Temporary interfere the specific brain areas of the participants (poor undergraduate student) with the magnetic stimulation

Works: What have I done with others brain

My evil college, Andrea

Free time: What have I done with my brain

Sight-seeing

Interacting with people (sometimes with alcohol consumption)

To summarize the findings

• Stimulate the brain with magnetic pulse will decrease the participant’s performance on memory task

• Memory was interrupted

• Stimulate the brain with wonderful experience in Germany will definitely increase my performance in the future

• Unforgettable memory was built
