Executive Summary:
Dr. Tseng is currently an associate professor at the Graduate Institute of Brain and Mind Sciences in National Taiwan University. He graduated from the Department of Medicine in National Taiwan University, and received his neurology training at the Department of Neurology in National Taiwan University Hospital. He finished his PhD program about pain research at Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine in National Taiwan University, and then performed his post-doc research at the Functional MRI center in University of oxford, UK. By using neuroimaging tools such as functional MRI in combination with experimental psychology and neurophysiological recording, his research focuses on understanding how humans process, percept, and respond to information related to pain. In addition, his lab also investigates the neural mechanism of pain-related human behaviors, such as memory, reinforcement learning, and empathy. His work aims to enhance understanding about cognitive neuroscience in both healthy population and neuropsychiatric disorders.
