Research Field
Changwei W. Wu received his B.Eng. and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan in 2001 and 2009, respectively. In 2010, he served as a postdoctoral visiting fellow in National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health, Baltimore, USA. Professor Wu is now acting as the director of Graduate Institute of Mind, Brain and Consciousness (GIMBC) at Taipei Medical University, who is also a mindfulness instructor certified by the Taiwan Mindfulness Development Association (TMDA), actively engaging in cognitive and clinical neuroscience related to the promotion of sleep quality and mental health.
Professor Wu is working toward the research orientations of sleep neuroimaging, brain in mindfulness, and brain in music therapy, for those non-pharmaceutical interventions soothing the mental status and improving the mental health. Currently the lab members include the music therapist, nutritionist, psychologists, radiologists, and medical doctors. We appreciate the cross-field variability but all working together with the same neuroimaging technical background in pursuit of academic excellence and well-being improvement at the same time.
