📰 Media Coverage | Advancing Dementia Care & Brain Health: Prof. Agnes Chan Featured in South China Morning Post

How can we buy more "golden hours" for Alzheimer's patients and their families? ⏳🧠

With official estimates projecting Hong Kong's dementia cases to reach 330,000 by 2039, early detection and evidence-based interventions are becoming critical pillars of public health.

In a recent in-depth feature by the South China Morning Post (SCMP), Prof. Agnes Chan (Chairperson of the Department of Psychology, CUHK) shared key insights on how non-invasive screening technologies—such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)—and innovative lifestyle interventions can transform the local dementia care landscape.

This work exemplifies the Department's commitment to translating neuroscience research into real-world impact.

📰 SCMP 專訪｜點樣為阿茲海默症（腦退化症）患者同家人爭取更多「黃金時間」？ ⏳🧠

根據官方數據，香港 60 歲或以上人士當中，有約 9.7% 患有腦退化症，預計到 2039 年個案更會高達 33 萬！面對呢個挑戰，早期篩查同干預絕對係關鍵。

最近《南華早報》（South China Morning Post）嘅專題報導，就引用咗我哋中大心理學系系主任 陳瑞燕教授（Prof. Agnes Chan） 團隊嘅研究成果：陳教授分享咗點樣透過無創腦成像技術（fNIRS）進行早期篩查，同埋結合生活方式醫學（Lifestyle Medicine）等科學介入方案，幫患者延緩退化，把握同家人相處嘅黃金光陰。

【學術講座邀請】
我們誠摯邀請您參加即將舉行的混合模式學術講座。本次講座非常榮幸邀請到法國波爾多大學（University of Bordeaux）的 Michel Thiebaut de Schotten 教授擔任主講嘉賓。

- 講座詳情
講題：大腦網絡連接與活體人腦線粒體的研究
日期：2026年7月28日（星期二）
時間：上午 11:00 - 中午 12:00
地點：香港中文大學崇基學院信和樓619室
Zoom連結：https://cuhk.zoom.us/j/95899217762
會議ID：958 9921 7762

【講座簡介】
雖然神經影像學的進步已證實認知功能源於大腦網絡的緊密連接，但若要理解大腦受損後的康復機制，我們必須超越單一的結構視角。在本次講座中，Schotten 教授將介紹一個基於腦網絡的框架，展示白質網絡中斷如何導致認知功能受損，並介紹Functionnectome 和 EMUSE 等前沿計算工具。另外，他亦將介紹人類首個全腦線粒體呼吸容量地圖 —— MitoBrainMap，並分享關於遺傳性線粒體功能障礙如何選擇性地重塑大腦能量版圖的未發表最新發現。

【講者簡介】
Michel Thiebaut de Schotten 教授為國際頂尖神經科學家，於國際權威期刊發表近 200 篇學術論文，並獲邀於全球發表逾 200 場學術演講。他的科研生涯始終專注於一個核心問題：「為什麼有些大腦在受傷後能康復，有些卻不能？」他的研究足跡從手術室延伸至預測認知受損的計算模型開發。作為「開放科學（Open Science）」的堅定倡導者，他將其研發的所有核心科研工具（包括 BCBtoolkit、Functionnectome 及 MitoBrainMap）完全免費開源，致力於讓科研成果服務全球學術與醫療界。

我哋期待您的踴躍參與，到時見！🤍

【Research Seminar】
We are absolutely thrilled to invite you to our upcoming hybrid research seminar, featuring Prof. Michel Thiebaut de Schotten from the University of Bordeaux (France) Université de Bordeaux, one of the world's leading authorities in neuroimaging and brain connectivity (with a remarkable h-index of 70).

Title: Neuroimaging connections and mitochondria in the living human brain
Date: 28 July 2026 (Tuesday)
Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 nn
Venue: Room 619, Sino Building, Chung Chi College, CUHK
Zoom Link: https://cuhk.zoom.us/j/95899217762
Meeting ID: 958 9921 7762

[Abstract]
While advances in have revealed that cognition emerges from distributed networks of brain connections, understanding the brain's recovery requires looking beyond structure alone. Prof. Thiebaut de Schotten will present a network-based framework to demonstrate how white matter disruption shapes cognitive deficits, introducing computational tools like and . He will also introduce the —the first whole-brain map of mitochondrial respiratory capacity—and share unpublished findings on how inherited dysfunction selectively reshapes the brain's energetic landscape.

[About the Speaker]
Prof. Michel Thiebaut de Schotten is a leading neuroscientist who has published nearly 200 papers in top-tier international journals and delivered over 200 lectures worldwide. His career is driven by a single question: Why do some brains recover after injury and others do not? His work spans from the operating room—where he first saw how disrupting a single white matter tract alters awareness—to developing computational tools that predict cognitive deficits. Committed to Open Science, all his groundbreaking tools (including , Functionnectome, and MitoBrainMap) are freely available to serve the global scientific community.

We look forward to your dynamic participation! 🤍

【從牛津實驗室到中大講堂：溯源蘇可蔚教授「以人為本」的科研初心】

「心理學是一門科學 —— 但其核心關乎的，永遠是『人』。」

身處一個信息萬變、節奏急速的現代社會，頂尖的科研學者如何為自己的研究定錨？今次我哋榮幸邀請到蘇可蔚教授進行訪談，分享她從牛津大學修讀實驗心理學，到回港開創臨床心理學研究的精彩旅程。

在牛津嚴謹的實證傳統薰陶下，蘇教授一直致力推動認知腦科學的邊界。透過先進的腦電圖（EEG）技術及實時動態追蹤，她的實驗室成功解構了聽覺言語幻覺背後複雜的神經機制——將冰冷的研究數據，轉化為賦予病人理解與釋懷的強大力量。

對蘇教授而言，卓越的學術成就從不局限於實驗室內。通過將前沿的科研成果回饋給臨床前線，她賦予那些正在經歷早期思覺失調的年輕人重新站起來的力量，讓他們明白：「這是關於你大腦的運作，並不是你個人的問題。」

從前線的臨床心理學家，到如今在中大教書育人，蘇教授全心投入於培訓下一代具備國際水平的治療師與科研人才 —— 讓心理學的關懷與影響力，走得更遠、更深。

Bridging Empiricism and Empathy: A Masterclass in Modern Psychological Science with Prof. Suzanne So 🤍

“Psychology is a science — but its core is always about people.”

In an era of rapid AI advancement and fast-moving societal trends, how do top researchers anchor their work? In our latest CUHK Psychology Faculty Spotlight, we sat down with Prof. Suzanne So, who shares her journey from reading Experimental Psychology at Oxford to pioneering clinical insights in Hong Kong.

Trained under Oxford’s rigorous empirical traditions, Prof. So has consistently pushed the boundaries of cognitive brain science. Using advanced EEG and real-time dynamic tracking, her lab has decoded the complex neural mechanisms behind auditory verbal hallucinations — transforming rigorous data into a powerful tool for patient understanding and relief.

For Prof. So, academic excellence is never confined to the laboratory. By feeding cutting-edge research back into clinical practice, she empowers young individuals experiencing early psychosis to realise: “This is about your brain. This is not your fault.”

Transitioning from clinician to mentor at CUHK, Prof. So now dedicates herself to training the next generation of world-class therapists and researchers — amplifying the reach and impact of psychological care.
