About

Ye Yang is a leading researcher in cognitive neuroscience and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the neural mechanisms underlying teleoperation and human-machine systems. Her most-cited work, "Brain functional connectivity under teleoperation latency: a fNIRS study" (2024, 5 citations), pioneers the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate how time delays in remote robot control alter brain network dynamics. By demonstrating that latency disrupts functional connectivity in prefrontal and motor cortices, Yang provides critical insights into the cognitive load and performance degradation operators face in high-latency environments. This foundational research bridges neuroscience and robotics, offering a framework for designing adaptive interfaces that mitigate operator strain. Her contributions are especially impactful for applications in space exploration, telesurgery, and disaster response, where real-time control is essential. Yang’s work has been recognized for its interdisciplinary rigor, earning her a reputation as a rising authority in neuroergonomics. With a growing citation trajectory, her studies continue to inform the development of latency-resilient teleoperation systems, making her a key voice in advancing safe and efficient human-robot collaboration.
