Research Description

Professor Han is devoted to constructing Chinese cognitive neural structure and functional network, and analyzing the influence of acquired learning experience on the plasticity of the language network, in order to reveal the occurrence and development of neural network of Chinese language. He completed the conclusion of major projects of the National Social Science Foundation of China in 2016 as a host, and successfully applied for the National Key Research and Development Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2018, the Beijing Natural Science Foundation of China in 2018, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2019. Since 2015, he has published 30 SCI papers, some of which have been published as the corresponding author in the top international journals in JCR1 area, such as Nature Communications (IF=12.12), Brain (IF=11.34). He also published the academic book New Progress of Aphasia TheoryⅠ in 2019. His papers have been cited 179 times in SCI journals, including Trends in Cognitive Sciences (2019;Trends in Neurosciences (2016), Reviews in The Neurosciences (2019), Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews (2015), Current Opinion in Neurobiology (2015), Nature Communications (2018;2019), Nature Human Behaviour (2020), PNAS (2017), Brain (2018;2019) and other journals.
