Xue-Rui Peng

Xue-Rui Peng holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Bohai University. She completed her Master’s Degree in Psychology from Southwest University, China, where she worked on sleep, memory and decision making aging with Professor Jing Yu. Since October 2020, Xue-Rui is working on her PhD in the Lifespan Developmental Neuroscience group at the TU Dresden. She proceeds to investigate the age differences in computational and neurocognitive mechanisms underlying decision making with a focus on information processing.

• Cognitive neuroscience of aging
• Computational models of human decision making and the neural representation
