Y. Zhang, Assistant Professor; Ph.D., Zhejiang University, China; The goal of my research is to advance clinical diagnosis of dysfunction in the human body through the fusion of functional bioelectrical activity/impedance imaging which includes functional neuroimaging, functional muscle activity imaging and functional bioelectrical impedance imaging, electrical stimulation and recording, advanced computational modeling and electrophysiological/biomechanical analysis with applications in investigating the mechanisms of bioelectrical activity in biological tissue and systems. I am also interested in utilizing developed functional imaging technologies to enhance human-machine-interface systems such as brain-computer-interface systems, brain-controlled devices and myoelectrically-controlled prostheses. My research involves both technology developments and experimental studies in human subjects.
