Xinping Deng
Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow
Email: dengxinping@@gdiist.cn
Personal Profile：
I received my B.Eng. in Civil Engineering from Xiangtan University (2014), M.Sc. in Cognitive Neuroscience from Hangzhou Normal University (2019), and Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from Beijing Normal University (2023). Since Nov 2025, I have been a post-doctoral fellow at the Guangdong Institute of Intelligence Science and Technology (GDIIST). My work integrates multimodal electrophysiology (EEG/MEG/fMRI), non-invasive neuromodulation (TMS/tES/tFUS), and virtual reality to dissect the neural dynamics of perception, working memory, and unconscious processing.
Research Interests:
My current work uses transcranial-focused ultrasound (tFUS) to probe and perturb the metacognitive network: I deliver millimetre-precise acoustic pulses to deep hubs, quantify the causal impact on metacognition, and fuse individual multimodal electrophysiology data to optimise intensity, frequency, and burst patterns for each participant—thereby forging an individualised, multi-target neuromodulation framework for disorders of metacognition.
