About
Li-Wei Ko is a leading researcher at the intersection of neural engineering and rehabilitation technology, whose work is transforming how brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) and robotic systems restore function for individuals with motor impairments. His primary research areas include brain–computer interfaces, neurorehabilitation, and assistive robotics. Ko’s major contributions include the development of a wireless multifunctional steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based BCI assistive system, which overcomes portability limitations of earlier designs and has garnered 43 citations for its practical impact on patient communication. He also led a randomized controlled trial demonstrating the therapeutic effects of robotic-exoskeleton-assisted gait rehabilitation in stroke patients, identifying predictive factors for significant recovery—a study that has already received 21 citations. Additionally, Ko has advanced the classification of lower limb motor preparation and execution using brain network features, addressing a long-standing challenge in BCI technology due to the anatomical proximity of motor cortical areas. His work bridges cutting-edge signal processing with real-world clinical application, making him a pivotal figure in the push toward portable, effective neurorehabilitation tools that improve quality of life for patients with severe motor disabilities.
