Xiaorong Gao Ph.D.

Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Tsinghua University
Principal Investigator, McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Tsinghua University

Dr. Gao’s research interests lie in the brain computer interfaces (BCI). In recent years, the BCI technology has become a hot research topic in the areas of neuroscience, neural engineering, medicine, and rehabilitation. Research at the Gao Lab uses the BCI technology—neural engineering and computational techniques—to understand, protect, and create the brain. The long term research goal is to create effective tools for the theoretical and practical analysis of EEG data. These tools will have broad applications, ranging from basic neurophysiological studies, clinical studies, to neural engineering uses. Development of this tool will shed light on how the brain functions and why it operates in particular ways.
