Mphil/PhD student recruitment

My lab (PI: Xiangbin Teng, https://sites.google.com/site/xiangbinteng2/) is looking for a talented and motivated student with backgrounds in engineering, computer science, cognitive science, psychology, or other related fields to join the PhD/Mphil program in the Department of Psychology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, for the fall of 2023.
