Dr Xuqian Li

Dr Xuqian Li specialises in clinical neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience.

During her PhD at UQ, Dr. Li investigated the neural correlates of visual working memory using multimodal neuroimaging and computational modelling approaches, revealing different neural markers for distinct types of behavioural errors. After completing her PhD, Dr. Li shifted her research focus to neuropsychiatry. Currently, her research interest lies in the neural mechanisms of post-trauma resilience, with a particular emphasis on understanding the shared structures of the human brain connectome, social support networks, and traumatic memories. Her aim is to present a new narrative for understanding complex trauma exposure.
