Dr. Kao’s research focuses on understanding the influence of health behavior associated with biobehavioral correlates of human cognition and brain health. He is particularly interested in the acute and chronic effects of physical activity and their behavioral neuroelectric outcomes related to cognitive function from childhood to early adulthood. His research investigates several key areas including (1) the associations between aspects of physical fitness such as cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular fitness, and higher-order cognition including executive function and memory, (2) the role of exercise parameters including mode, intensity, and timing in relation to exercise and cognitive function, and (3) the development of multi-modal interventions that combine physical activity and mindfulness to facilitate attention, learning, and productivity in integrated real-world settings such as schools and workplaces.
