Biography

Wei-en (Annie) Wang is a doctoral student working at the Lab for Rehabilitation Neuroscience. Her research focuses on investigating brain mechanisms underlying motor and pain networks.
This research combines brain imaging (EEG, MRI/fMRI), electrophysiology recordings (EMG), motor analysis, behavioral measures to study pain and movement.
