One Small Step For A Mouse: Using Information Science to Understand the Brain
How does learning a new skill or process change the physical structure of the brain? Using techniques from data science and high-dimensional statistics, Professors Bobak Nazer (ECE), Venkatesh Saligrama (ECE, SE), and Xue Han (BME), aim to find out. Their project, titled “Discovering Changes in Networks: Fundamental Limits, Efficient Algorithms, and Large-Scale Neuroscience,” has won the support of a $1.2M National Science Foundation (NSF) Award.

BME Prof. Lewis Named Searle Scholar for 2020
BME Assistant Professor Laura Lewis was named one of only 15 Searle Scholars for 2020, for her work on neuromodulation of neural dynamics and perception across sleep and wakefulness. Her work examines how the brain shift its functional properties to maintain sleep, wake, attentional, and affective states, and how this knowledge can lead to treatments for […]
