Brain-Centered CPS / NeuroIoT
Human-in-the-loop CPS with neural & environmental sensing; multimodal fusion and memory-centric modeling.

Funded Projects
Neuroscience-in-the-Wild: Memory & Sensor Fusion (NIH 10792324)
This project integrates smartphone-based experiential sensing, wearables, and intracranial neural recordings to study autobiographical memory formation during real-world behavior and to inform future memory-enhancing neuromodulation.
NCS: Memory via Real-world Integration of Brain & IoT Perception (NSF 2435642)
NSF NCS established the NeurIoT foundation for synchronizing brain recordings with real-world multimodal sensing to study memory-relevant behavior and support context-aware neurotechnology research.
