Hi, my name is Minho Shin. Nice to meet you.
I am a Ph.D student studying cognitive neuroscience at DGIST, South Korea, advised by Dr. Hyeon-Ae Jeon. I am generally interested in high-level cognition that are unique to humans. To study the human high-level cognition, I use various methods including computational modeling of behavior, functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Lately
I recently published my first publication at Cerebral Cortex that investigated reasoning-related brain regions using the newly-developed Bayesian meta-analysis tool called Bayesian meta-analysis of cortical surface (BMACS).
My new project is about human structure learning that how humans learn complex structure in the environment and use such knowledge for their next decisions. I am going to combine various tools such as behavioral modeling, fMRI and TMS to study structure learning integratively.

An (in)complete guide to reaction time analysis
For a typical 2 × 2 design in psychology or cognitive science, one should care contrast coding and use mixed-effects models with logarithm of RTs.

The critical role of interference control in metaphor comprehension evidenced by the drift–diffusion model
We address the question of, among several executive functions, which one has a strong influence on metaphor comprehension. Here, with more fine-grained analysis of the decisions involved in metaphor comprehension using the drift–diffusion model, we argue that interference control plays an important role in processing metaphors.
