The human brain undergoes dramatic shifts in cellular composition, activity, and connectivity across the lifespan. This talk will showcase new research on network dynamics supporting memory and control processes in children, young adults, and older adults.
The symposium will bring together neuroengineering faculty, physician-scientists, clinicians, students, and postdocs from engineering, medicine, neuroscience and other fields to share research results and network with like-minded researchers.
The spinal cord is a superhighway of information flowing to and from the brain and periphery. Unfortunately, in injury this bidirectional flow is disrupted, often leading to permanent impairment of sensorimotor function.
The last decade has seen an exponential rise in research assessing the potential for non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to facilitate cognitive function in healthy and clinical populations.
It is widely accepted that human cognition is the product of spiking neurons. Yet even for basic cognitive functions, such as the ability to make decisions or prepare and execute a voluntary movement, the gap between spikes and computation is vast.
