Song Minryung has been interested in the brain since the time when university departments of brain science were rare. She double majored, choosing Mathematics, the language of science, to theoretically examine complex brain activity, and Life Science to explore the biological principles of the brain. She also took electrical engineering classes to understand the electrical properties of neural circuits. After completing her undergraduate studies at KAIST, she received her master’s degree in Neuroscience and Mathematics from the University of Arizona, USA, and completed her Ph.D. in Bio and Brain Engineering at KAIST.

She has serialized Dr. Song’s Neuroscience Story in the Kyunghyang Shinmun and Dr. Song’s Neuroscience Essay in Maekyung Premium, and has given seminars and lectures at TEDxKAIST, Hundred Books, and the Counseling Society.
