Bio:

Prof. Xu Guang-qing serves as the director of rehabilitation medicine department, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences. His interests range from basic research to clinical practice. Xu and colleagues have been studying the neurorehabilitation and neural plasticity in brain lesions using the non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). So far Xu has undertaken 11 research projects, and published 81 papers, including 36 in peer reviewed international journals (total IF: 189).
