Yu-Hsuan (Jennifer) Tseng, PhD
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Education History:
Ph.D., Systems Life Sciences, Kyushu University, Japan
Jennifer completed her PhD at Kyushu University focusing on cognitive science and neuroscience. During her undergraduate studies, she researched clinical treatments for children with autism, and her master's research focused on understanding the behavior and brain activity underlying different social situation. For her PhD, Jennifer developed a real-time EEG neurofeedback system for enhancing long-term memory, which showed significant improvements in long-term memory capacity through noninvasive neurofeedback training. She began postdoctoral training at the Berenson-Allen Center, where she focused on learning TMS and MRI and conducting fundamental research on brain function in both healthy and patient populations.
Personal Interests/Hobbies: Jennifer loves to travel during her vacations, also enjoys cooking, observing animals, watching movies, playing the violin and piano, reading books, and playing with her pets.
Personal Goals: Jennifer's primary interest lies in exploring the fundamental principles of brain function and pathological changes. Her goal is to develop more effective and personalized noninvasive brain stimulation treatment methods by combining technologies such as EEG, TMS, and MRI, with the hope of applying them to a wide range of patients in the future.
