About
Seun Jeon is a leading researcher in the neurobiology of aging and cognitive intervention, with a focus on how the brain’s structure can be reshaped through training. Her work sits at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, gerontology, and rehabilitation robotics, investigating how both traditional and technology-assisted therapies promote neuroplasticity in the elderly. Jeon’s most influential study, a controlled trial involving 85 healthy seniors, demonstrated that multi-domain cognitive training—particularly robot-assisted programs—can induce measurable changes in cortical thickness. This landmark paper, cited nearly 100 times, provided some of the first MRI-based evidence that cognitive interventions produce structural brain changes, moving beyond behavioral tests to validate training effects. Her subsequent work in single-blind randomized trials further solidified these findings, showing that robot-assisted cognitive training offers a scalable, engaging method to combat age-related decline. By bridging robotics and neuroimaging, Jeon has advanced our understanding of how to maintain brain health in aging populations, offering practical pathways for delaying cognitive impairment and improving quality of life for older adults.
