About

SeongHyeon Jo is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in brain-computer interfaces and robotic therapy for stroke recovery. His work centers on developing hybrid systems that integrate electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) signals to decode motor intentions, particularly for hand function restoration in chronic stroke patients. Jo’s most impactful study, with 9 citations, introduced an EEG-EMG hybrid real-time classification system for hand grasp and release movements, enabling intuitive control of soft robotic gloves—a breakthrough for wearable rehabilitation technology. He further advanced the field by conducting functional MRI assessments during hand rehabilitation with an MR-compatible soft glove, demonstrating how robotic therapy modulates brain plasticity and neural activity in stroke survivors. This preliminary study, with 2 citations, provides critical insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying robot-assisted recovery. Jo’s interdisciplinary approach bridges neural signal processing, robotics, and clinical neuroscience, offering tangible solutions for restoring independence in daily activities. His work not only enhances understanding of motor recovery but also paves the way for personalized, closed-loop rehabilitation systems that adapt to individual patients’ neural states.
