Peii Chen, PhD (she/her/hers)

Assistant Director
Kessler Foundatoin
West Orange, New Jersey, United States

Peii (Peggy) Chen, PhD, is an Assistant Director at Kessler Foundation’s Center for Stroke Rehabilitation Research, the Intellectual Property Liaison at Kessler Foundation, and a Research Associate Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rutgers University’s New Jersey Medical School. She was raised and educated in Taiwan until completing a bachelor’s degree in medial radiation at National Yang-Ming University. She was then trained as an experimental cognitive psychologist at the Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Chen started her postdoctoral career in 2007 and became a neurorehabilitation scientist with the focus on spatial cognition and its disorders after brain injury, especially stroke. Her career has been focused on the study of spatial neglect, its related disorders, and its impacts on the lives of individuals with spatial neglect. In 2017, she was awarded a Distinguished Switzer Research Fellowship by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). Dr. Chen is the lead developer of the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process (KF-NAP®), Prism Adaptation Treatment (KF-PAT®), Spatial Re-training Therapy (KF-SRT®), Eye Movement Exercise (KF-EME™), and the 3s Spreadsheet Test. KF-NAP is a standardized method for detecting and measuring spatial neglect in real-life situations. KF-PAT is a standardized protocol for delivering the evidence-based treatment for spatial neglect. KF-SRT and KF-EME are software programs leveraging immersive virtual reality (VR) technology, designed to treat spatial neglect. The 3s Spreadsheet Test is an assessment tool to detect and measure egocentric and allocentric spatial neglect. In addition to research and development activities, Dr. Chen advocates meaningful and effective knowledge translation via professional training and technology transfer to improve spatial neglect care.
