Tsung-Min Hung
Tsung-Min Hung (Ernest) currently works as a research chair professor at the Department of Physical Education , National Taiwan Normal University. He was inducted as a fellow for the National Academy of Kinesiology (US) and the International Society of Sport Psychology in 2018. His research mainly focuses on two areas. The first area is about enhancing sport performance through cortical intervention. Specifically, EEG signature of superior sport performance, precision sports such as golf, shooting, archery, and service in racket sports in particular, as well as neurofeedback are his current endeavor. The second area of research focus on neurocognitive effect of physical activity. Children with ADHD, the elderly participants, and young children are his current targeting population.
