Biography

Bin He received his BS in 1982 in electrical engineering, from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. He later went to study in Japan and obtained his M.S. in electrical engineering and PhD (highest honors) in bioelectrical engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. [3]

Bin He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology in the United States. After working as a Research Scientist at MIT, he later joined the faculty of Electrical Engineering and Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where Bin He was named a University Scholar by the university president. [4]

In January 2004, Bin He became the Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. [5] He also served as the founding director of Center for Neuroengineering at Minnesota. Since 2011, Bin He has served as the director of the NSF IGERT Training Program on Systems Neuroengineering. In August 2012, Bin He was named the director of the Institute for Engineering in Medicine, a campus-wide research institute aimed at advancing innovative engineering solutions for tomorrow's medicine, by fostering collaborations between biomedical colleges and College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. [1]

Bin He's research has helped transform electroencephalography (EEG) from a one-dimensional detection technique to a three-dimensional neuroimaging modality. His laboratory demonstrated the ability for humans to fly a drone and control a robotic arm through noninvasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. [6]

He has contributed to neuroengineering education, including editing the first textbook in neural engineering. He has also led training grants in neuroengineering funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). [7]

Bin He served as the past president of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society and as the chair of the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering. He also served as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering and currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering. [8] [9]

He directs the Biomedical Functional Imaging and Neuroengineering Laboratory, which was founded at the University of Minnesota and relocated to Carnegie Mellon University in 2018. He stepped down from his position of the Head of the Biomedical Engineering Department in 2021, and was succeeded by Keith Cook. [10]

Research

He's research focuses on neuroengineering, particularly in the areas of functional neuroimaging, neural interfacing, and neuromodulation. His lab develops noninvasive dynamic brain imaging technology to study motor and visual systems' mechanisms. One of his active research projects involves developing novel techniques for localizing and imaging epileptic seizures from noninvasive EEG, MEG, and intracranial EEG to aid surgical resection. [11] Additionally, his lab investigates functional brain networks using EEG, MEG, and functional MRI to understand brain functions and aid in clinical management. [12] [13]

Another major area of research for He’s is the development of noninvasive mind-controlled brain-computer interfaces to aid disabled patients. His lab explores engineering solutions using motor imagery, spatial attention, and other techniques to develop BCI as a broadly used assistive technology. [14] [15]

He’s lab develop and investigate transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation, a recently introduced technology that delivers acoustic waves to targeted brain areas with high spatial precision. [16] [17]

A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a brain–machine interface (BMI), is a direct communication link between the brain's electrical activity and an external device, most commonly a computer or robotic limb. BCIs are often directed at researching, mapping, assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. They are often conceptualized as a human–machine interface that skips the intermediary of moving body parts (hands...), although they also raise the possibility of erasing the distinction between brain and machine. BCI implementations range from non-invasive and partially invasive to invasive, based on how physically close electrodes are to brain tissue.

Neural engineering is a discipline within biomedical engineering that uses engineering techniques to understand, repair, replace, or enhance neural systems. Neural engineers are uniquely qualified to solve design problems at the interface of living neural tissue and non-living constructs.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Electrocorticography</span> Type of electrophysiological monitoring

Electrocorticography (ECoG), a type of intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG), is a type of electrophysiological monitoring that uses electrodes placed directly on the exposed surface of the brain to record electrical activity from the cerebral cortex. In contrast, conventional electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes monitor this activity from outside the skull. ECoG may be performed either in the operating room during surgery or outside of surgery. Because a craniotomy is required to implant the electrode grid, ECoG is an invasive procedure.

A mind-controlled wheelchair is a motorized wheelchair controlled by a brain–computer interface. Such a wheelchair could be of great importance to patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS), in which a patient is aware but cannot move or communicate verbally due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles in the body except the eyes. Such wheelchairs can also be used in case of muscular dystrophy, a disease that weakens the musculoskeletal system and hampers locomotion.
