Dr. Tseng’s research focuses on 1) the basic mechanisms of human perception, attention, and memory, as well as 2) their applications in forensic and clinical settings. These topics include detection of deception, memory detection, eyewitness memory, misinformation and cognitive warfare, moral judgment in the courtroom, driving behavior, brain stimulation and cognitive enhancement in patients…etc. For example, the ability to detect one’s memory traces is not only useful for detection of deception (e.g., recognizing the murder weapon that only the murderer would know), but also very valuable for fraud/malingering detection in dementia (e.g., pretending to be forgetful despite memories being present). The Brain & Cognition Lab aims to translate these basic cognitive research in perception, attention, and memory, to come up with creative solutions for real-world problems often faced in forensic investigations and clinical assessment/intervention. The lab specializes in eye tracking, electroencephalogram (EEG), event-related potentials (ERP), electric brain stimulation (tDCS, tACS, tRNS), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
