About
Pei-Cheng Shih is a leading researcher in the neurorehabilitation of sensorimotor function, with a focus on how non-invasive brain stimulation can restore movement and proprioception after neurological injury or age-related decline. Her work primarily investigates the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on proprioceptive accuracy and motor control in both aging populations and chronic stroke survivors. In her highly cited 2019 study, she demonstrated that anodal tDCS over the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) differentially modulates proprioceptive accuracy in young versus older adults, revealing age-dependent neural plasticity. Her 2022 paper further advanced the field by comparing anodal and dual tDCS setups in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients, showing that different stimulation configurations produce distinct kinematic outcomes—a critical insight for designing personalized rehabilitation protocols. With over 38 combined citations for these two works alone, Shih’s research is shaping how clinicians understand and apply tDCS to enhance sensorimotor recovery, bridging the gap between basic neuroscience and practical therapeutic intervention.
