Jin Fan is a scientist known for studying how the brain works, and with how attention develops in our mind. Dr. Jin Fan research interests are Attention, fMRI, Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Control and Autism. He holds the position of Psychology professor at Queens College. Jin Fan is affiliated to the City University of New York.

Biography
Jin Fan received his PhD from New York University. He then went to do his post-doctoral training at Weill Medical College of Cornell University. After finishing his post-doctoral training Dr. Fan went on to start his teaching journey by becoming an assistant professor of Neuroscience and Psychiatry in Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He then advanced to Queens College where he continues to be a Psychology professor.

Research
Jin Fan's research program delves into the intricate relationship between attention and autism, exploring how attentional mechanism contribute to the cognitive profile of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. His research has made an important contribution to our knowledge of the brain mechanism causing autism, which may lead to new understandings for treatments approaches and increased public awareness.

One potential high-impact study could be the investigation of attentional networks in individuals with Autism spectrum disorder. For example, a study exploring how attentional systems different between neurotypical individuals and those with ASD during specific tasks or social interactions.

key findings from these studies includes identifying specific brain regions or networks that exhibit altered activation patters in individuals with autism during attention- related task. Gaining an awareness of these brain changes can help one develop a more complex grasp of the intellectual and visual elements of autism spectrum disorders. His work focuses on creating treatments or remedies that target the attentional processes of autistic people. Jin Fan's research assists with develop interventions targeted at enhancing the ability to focus and reducing issues related to autism by identifying the neurological problems in autism spectrum disorders.
