Research summary
AI-generated

Yunjie Tong studies how blood flow, breathing-related signals, and fluid movement in the brain and spinal cord relate to brain activity, using imaging tools such as functional MRI (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Much of the work focuses on separating true neural signals from background physiological 'noise' like heart rate and CO2 changes, and on measuring cerebrospinal fluid movement and brain clearance processes. This research is relevant to understanding brain imaging accuracy, aging, sleep, and neurological disorders.
