     My current research work on both animal and human model. In human, I focus on the biopotential signaling and behavioral studies in stress related to psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia disorder. I and my colleagues are developing the wearable device to detect stress and glucose level from photoplethysmogram (PPG), heart rate variability (HRV) and galvanic skin response(GSR). In animal, I am interested in the animal model of stress and psychiatric disorders, drug addition, neurodegenerative disorders, stroke model and ß-Thalassemia mice in several aspect of behavioral studies such as cognitive functions test, stress test, anxiety test, depression test, motor and balance test and biopotential signaling from telemetry transmission.
