Dr. Peng Wang

I joined the group in 2022. I work with the EEG/MEG data analysis and modeling. My research aims to understand the link between the structural and functional connectivity among the brain regions and human ability, such as language, and memory. Together with the Developmental Cognitive Psychology group, I will investigate how brain networks develop from early childhood into adulthood.
