Dr. Xuan Ma works as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Neuroscience, Northwestern University, United States. He earned his PhD degree in control science and engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China (2017) for his work in biomedical signal processing and control algorithms for brain-computer interfaces. He has extensive experience in electrophysiological recordings on non-human primates. Currently, his research aims to improve the performance and stability of intracortical brain-computer interfaces using novel computational methods. Meanwhile, he uses long-duration wireless cortical and muscular recordings in non-human primates to investigate neural population activity during multiple unconstrained and naturalistic behaviors, thereby expanding the applications of brain-computer interfaces to more real-life scenarios.
