About

Wesley Lim is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research focuses on understanding and enhancing working memory, particularly in the context of healthy aging. His work centers on the neural mechanisms underlying working memory manipulation—the process of actively rearranging information in mind—and how this critical cognitive function can be improved using non-invasive brain stimulation. Lim’s most cited study, "Site-specific effects of online rTMS during a working memory task in healthy older adults" (2019, 5 citations), made a key contribution by demonstrating that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be applied with site-specific precision to modulate working memory performance in older adults. This work is notable for its potential to inform interventions that could extend cognitive health-span, addressing a major challenge in aging research. While his citation count is still growing, Lim’s targeted approach to combining brain stimulation with cognitive tasks represents a promising avenue for future translational research in cognitive enhancement and neurorehabilitation.
