Meet the Team
Hanna works as Assistant Professor and Core Member of Neuromodulation Lab and Dementia Research Unit at Dept. Psychiatry, and GPS Mentor, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is also the Founder of The Brain X.
Dr. Qiu is a researcher at the Dept. Radiology at the Stanford University. With a great research interest of ultrasound brain stimulation, he will start his lab at Guangdong Institute of Intelligence Science and Technology in this year.
Mr. EGG Waffle
Lab mascot
Mr. EGG Waffle（Chinese Name: 雞蛋仔）is an one-year old, energetic and talkative Siamese cat with excellent communication skills, including meowing, purring, and, of course, biting. These traits make him a competent lab mascot.
