Research summary
AI-generated

Moon Sun Kang's recent work focuses on how the brain switches between different modes of cognitive control—specifically studying 'metacontrol,' or how people decide when to prepare for a task in advance versus react to it as it happens, using EEG and behavioral experiments. Earlier work in this record includes studies on infant motor development, education/learning psychology, and counseling, suggesting a broadening or shifting research focus over time toward cognitive neuroscience.
