Abstract

Electromagnetic stimulation technologies (tDCS, tACS, rTMS, etc.) have shown increasing importance in neuroscience and brain disease treatment. Their mechanisms remain incompletely understood, and they have significant value for multimodal information fusion and clinical application evaluation.
This talk introduces the work of Hebei University of Technology’s Biomedical Electromagnetic Engineering Lab on neuromodulation mechanisms and clinical applications, focusing on non-invasive brain stimulation. Topics include tDCS, tACS, rTMS, light stimulation, and neurofeedback to regulate behavior, improve plasticity, enhance learning and memory, and modulate brain network activity.
The research also involves multimodal fusion (behavior, hemodynamics, EEG, fNIRS, etc.) to study how electromagnetic neuromodulation affects brain function and recovery after stroke and brain injury.
