Dr Wei-Peng Teo graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Ph.D. (Medicine) in 2014 and has since held several lecturing appointments at various Australian universities such as Edith Cowan University, Central Queensland University and Deakin University, before joining the National Institute of Education, NTU in 2018.
Dr Teo’s research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that underpin motor control and learning across the lifespan and in diseased populations. In particular, Dr Teo specializes in several neuroimaging and brain stimulation techniques, such as, electroencephalography (EEG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to understand neurophysiology and motor control.
He currently heads the Motor Behaviour Laboratory and is the Assistant Director for the Science of Learning in Education Centre (SoLEC) at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University.
