My research focuses on:

  • real-world neuroimaging;
  • novel approaches to recording and modeling brain activities and body functions, including and combining electroencephalographic, electromyographic, behavioral, and physiological measures;
  • dry EEG sensor arrays and wearable/wireless data acquisition and signal processing hardware and software that can monitor and record non-invasive, high spatial and temporal resolution, brain activity of unconstrained, actively engaged human subjects;
  • applying computational approaches such as independent component analysis (ICA), time-frequency analysis, and statistical analysis to analyze and model neural activity associated with human cognition, perception and awareness;
  • fusing multiple streams of psychophysiological information to construct prototypes of neurocognitive brain-machine interface to improve overall human performance;
  • methods and concepts to characterize and clarify neuropathogenic processes, and improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological diseases and injuries.
