Biography
I am currently an early-career academic/researcher with the focus of further developing my research experience in the area of neurorehabilitation. I am particularly interested in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation to prime the brain so as to maximise rehabilitation outcomes for Parkinson's disease and Stroke.
My research focus stems from my doctoral work which examined the neural correlates of movement rate and amplitude in healthy subjects and patients with Parkinson’s disease. Amongst the cardinal signs of Parkinson’s disease, bradykinesia and hypokinesia present as the most easily recognisable signs and is usually apparent before any formal neurological assessment is made. This often results in slowness of movement and resulting in a reduction in activities of daily living. My research suggests that an increased state of brain hyperexcitability and a reduction in cortical inhibition in the primary motor cortex plays a significant role in both bradykinesia and hypokinesia. Additional findings also indicate that both bradykinesia and hypokinesia have distinct neural mechanisms that are affected differently by levodopa medication.
Following the completion of my doctoral thesis, I worked as a research fellow at the National University Hospital in Singapore investigating the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation and robotic training in chronic stroke patients. The concept of this study was based on a two-tiered approach targeting the central nervous system using non-invasive brain stimulation and providing sensory feedback through manipulation of the affect limb using a robotic arm.

Dr Teo’s is an early-career researcher with a research focus on developing novel rehabilitation strategies to optimising neuromuscular function and brain health. Dr Teo graduated with a PhD in 2013 from the University of Western Australia under the supervision of Professors Gary Thickbroom and Frank Mastaglia. Currently, Dr Teo’s research focus includes the use of non-invasive brain stimulation, exercise and virtual reality therapy to improve motor and cognitive function in people with neurological disorders (i.e. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease) and stroke. He has expertise in various techniques to measure brain function that includes electroencephalography (EEG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and leads a team consisting of 6 PhD and 1 Master postgraduate students.
