Tianfang Han's research focuses on both basic and applied (human factors) aspects of cognitive psychology. In basic research, Han investigates the mechanisms underlying alertness (or temporal preparation), which is regarded as a basic component of human attention system. He is also interested in how conflicting information affects task performance and interacts with preparation processes.
