About
Eunsong Ko is a pioneering neuroengineer whose work is redefining the boundaries of large-scale neural recording and automated surgical precision in rodents. Her primary research focuses on developing cutting-edge technologies to study the brain during naturalistic, unrestrained behavior—a critical step beyond traditional head-fixed experiments. Ko’s landmark contribution is the invention of robotic neural recording headstages, a breakthrough that enables brain-wide, cellular-resolution recordings in mice navigating physical spaces. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 13 citations, overcomes a fundamental size constraint in neuroscience, allowing for unprecedented insights into neural dynamics during free movement. Complementing this, she has pioneered computer vision–guided automated cranial microsurgery, a system that performs rapid, precise craniotomies for implanting neural interfaces or optical windows. This innovation, with 4 and 2 citations across two publications, dramatically reduces surgical variability and time, making advanced procedures more accessible. Ko’s achievements represent a paradigm shift toward high-throughput, automated, and behaviorally relevant neuroscience, positioning her as a leader in the next generation of neural interface technology.
