About

Lingyu Liu is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and therapeutic robotics for post-stroke recovery. Her work focuses on restoring motor function in stroke survivors, particularly those with upper-limb impairments. Liu’s major contributions include demonstrating that BCI-robot training significantly enhances upper extremity performance and induces neuroplastic changes in the primary motor cortex, as shown in a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study (28 citations). She also conducted a pivotal meta-analysis (29 citations) confirming the efficacy of BCI-based training for upper-limb rehabilitation, addressing previous variability in clinical outcomes. Her 2024 paper on therapeutic robots (29 citations) highlights the critical need for innovative solutions to address stroke’s severe motor and cognitive deficits, especially in China. With over 86 citations across her most-cited works, Liu’s research bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering evidence-based pathways for integrating BCI and robotics into standard rehabilitation protocols. Her work is notable for its rigorous methodology and direct impact on improving quality of life for stroke patients.
