Academic Interest

Hong Lin currently works on brain states analysis, in particular, the comparison of meditative states to other brain states. Mental discipline and meditative practice can change the workings of the brain and allow people to achieve different levels of awareness. The objective is to create a system that can interact with users on real-time basis and give users feedback on users' current state and the goals of users' mind-body exercises. We are collaborating with researchers at the University of Canberra, Australia, other a couple of other institutions, in pursuit of our research interests.
