I, as an individual researcher and principal investigator, engage in revolutionizing the interaction technology between humans and machines. This technology could potentially help the patients whose moving ability was disrupted because of devastating diseases such as spinal cord injury, stroke. This lab aims to conduct innovative researches, promote the interactive technology between the human and peripheral devices, advance the understanding of our human brain. My current research interests include the following area,

Bio-mechatronics:
(1) Brain-computer interfaces (BCI)：Based on motor imagery, attentional modulation, visual evoked potential and etc.
(2) Neuromodulation and its application in BCI
(3) BCI assisted neural rehabilitation such as BCI control of an exoskeleton for rehabilitation of stroke patient

Talent students with the background of biomedical engineering, neuroscience, neural engineering, robotics, machine learning and etc. are always welcomed to contact me.

******************************

* Each year, I plan to recruit two students who want to get Master degrees

* Students who want to get a Ph.D. in the field of BCI, Neural engineering are encouraged to apply, but I have a highly selective standard due to the limited resources

* Undergraduate students who are interested in the BCI, robotics are welcomed to contact me, we plan to recruit 3-6 undergraduate students into the lab each year

* 2018-2019 Selective Research funding of State Key laboratory of Mechanical System and Vibration MSV, PI

I have published a number of scientific journal papers in the field of robotics, biomedical engineering, neural engineering, bio-mechatronics, interdisciplinary field（such as Science Robotics, IEEE Trans. Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Trans. Neural Sys. & Rehabilitation Engineering, IEEE Journal of Biomedical Health Informatics, Journal of Neural Engineering, Scientific Reports and etc.）I have published 24 SCI-indexed journal paper，including one cover article in the TBME, 2018.
