Dr Chuong Ngo studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. He obtained his PhD on model-based analysis of respiratory mechanics for diagnosis of cardiopulmonary diseases under the supervision of Prof. Steffen Leonhardt, Prof. Klaus Tenbrock, and Prof. Franz de Jongh.
Chuong joins our latest line of research, linking the neuroscience of self-consciousness with meditation practice and technologies such as virtual reality. This new project, entitled “The Home Within”, aims at investigating the role of bodily self-consciousness in meditation practice and experience, merging insights from the neuroscience of self-consciousness with meditation scholarship, and aims at developing and testing a new neurotechnology platform for contemplative practice and meditation research.
