Dr. Chin-Teng Lin devoted himself to the research of Computational Intelligence (CI) since his infant stage of early 1990’s. Dr. Chin-Teng Lin took the lead in developing the models of Fuzzy Neural Networks (FNN), which have now become one of the most prevailing research areas in CI. Since 1996, the Intelligent Information Technology (iIT) has been his major research interest.  In 2003, Dr. Chin-Teng Lin founded the Brain Research Center (BRC) at the National Chao-Tung University (NCTU) and served as it’s director to this day. By applying the CI and iIT to the research of cognition neuroscience, Dr. Chin-Teng Lin had focused mainly on the area of Translational Neuroscience since 2003, trying to bring basic findings in neuroscience into daily life applications. To achieve this goal, He had focused on 2 major problems: Natural Cognition and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Natural cognition studies the brain and its behavior at work. One major research problem is the study of brain dynamics of alertness, drowsiness, motional sickness, distraction, orientation, etc. during driving. For real-world applications of BCI, they had designed wearable and wireless devices for measuring brain waves (EEG signals) with dry sensors and developed algorithms for brain waves analysis. The Brain Research Center is now a platform for conducting various interdisciplinary research activities in cognition neuroscience and engineering.

Research Support

Dr. Chin-Teng Lin had served as the Chief Investigator (CI) of about 290 research projects funded by government and industries between 1992 and 2019. The total amount of research funding is approximately US$42,765K (AUD$53,469K). In particular, He served as the CI of several international large-scale research projects on Intelligent Systems, Natural Cognition, and Brain-Computer Interface, spanning several countries and industries.
