Our People

Meet the Team

A team of clinician-scientists, engineers, and trainees at the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, united by one goal: understanding and healing the human brain.

Principal Investigator
Ho Wing (Andy) Chan, MD

Ho Wing (Andy) Chan, MD

Assistant Professor of Neurology & Neuroscience
Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute · Department of Neurology · West Virginia University

Dr. Chan is a physician-scientist epileptologist with a passion for brain-computer interfaces (BCI). He trained under Dr. Helen Mayberg at Mount Sinai, a pioneer of deep brain stimulation for depression, where he developed his foundational interest in circuit-based neuromodulation. His lab's work spans three areas: brain-computer interfaces for communication and rehabilitation; neuromodulation for epilepsy and mood; and other neurotechnologies, including in-ear EEG and digital biomarkers.
