Biography

Taewon Kim employs behavioral non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying human motor skill learning, memory consolidation, and rehabilitation of unilateral impairments. His research interests focus on understanding how the brain adapts to new challenges, with specific emphasis on the behavioral neurophysiological processes involved in memory consolidation of new motor skills. The ultimate goal of his research is to translate this knowledge into enhanced rehabilitative interventions that enable individuals with unilateral impairments to acquire and relearn essential motor skills.
