About
Yonghee Lee is a prominent researcher in the field of neurorehabilitation and functional brain imaging, with a particular focus on the reliability of brain activation patterns induced by robotic-assisted movements. Her major contributions include pioneering work on the test-retest reliability of brain activation using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), as demonstrated in her highly cited 2020 study, "There is No test–retest reliability of brain activation induced by robotic passive hand movement: A functional NIRS study," which has garnered 9 citations. This research critically challenges the foundational assumption of brain plasticity in rehabilitation by showing that robotic passive hand movements do not produce consistent, repeatable brain activation patterns, thereby informing the design of more effective neurorehabilitation protocols. Lee's work has significant implications for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying motor recovery and for improving the reliability of brain-computer interface applications. Her findings are essential for researchers and clinicians developing evidence-based rehabilitation strategies, highlighting the need for more robust and reliable methods to promote brain plasticity in clinical settings.
