Xiaoqin's current work focuses on exploring neural processes underlying affective touch with electrophysiology methods. She is also generally interested in statistical methods that can be applied to behavioural and neuroimaging data. She received her Ph.D. in Integrative Sciences and Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) where she investigated spatio-temporal interactions in time perception.

My primary research interests lie in exploring the neural correlates of human movement and sensation. I want to provide the necessary understanding of the human brain to facilitate the development of novel assessment methods and interventions. I enjoy conducting this type of research because it requires detail-oriented problem solving with many remaining unknowns and exciting puzzles.
