About
Dr. Po-He Tseng is a pioneering neuroscientist whose research sits at the intersection of neural engineering and social neuroscience. His most impactful work involves developing wireless brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) for whole-body navigation, demonstrating for the first time that cortical ensembles can encode the kinematics of wheelchair movement in primates. This landmark 2016 study (86 citations) represents a critical step toward practical, cortically-controlled assistive devices for paralyzed patients. Dr. Tseng has also made significant contributions to understanding the neural basis of social interaction. In a highly innovative 2018 study (33 citations), he conducted concurrent wireless recordings from pairs of monkeys, revealing that interbrain cortical synchronization encodes multiple aspects of social behavior. This work provides rare neurophysiological evidence for how primate brains coordinate during real-time social exchanges. By combining sophisticated wireless recording technology with complex behavioral paradigms, Dr. Tseng’s research bridges the gap between single-brain BMI control and multi-brain social dynamics, offering profound insights into both neural rehabilitation and the fundamental mechanisms of primate social cognition.
