Brain-inspired algorithm could improve word recognition accuracy in noisy situations by up to 40 percentage points, potentially helping with the so-called “cocktail party problem”
Boston University College of Engineering Dean ad interim Elise Morgan has announced the five winners—out of a record 30 applicants—of the 2025 Dean’s Catalyst Awards. The research teams will each receive funds over two years to pursue promising, ambitious projects that cut across disciplinary lines as they aim to solve global challenges.
by Danny Giancioppo Although Assistant Professor Tim O’Shea (BME, MSE) was always interested in STEM, it wasn’t until his junior year of high school that his interest evolved into a personal mission. Growing up in Brisbane, Australia, there was a surplus of mining and mechanical engineering opportunities in the state, lending itself to a vibrant […]
“We are proud to remain the Goldwater Foundation’s sole private sector partner for the second year and support undergraduates interested in pursuing medical research careers,” said Chandra S. Pemmasani, M.D., founder and CEO of UWorld. “It is inspiring to see how the foundation continues to motivate students to grow in their education and pursue their […]
In the article “Psilocybin, Teens, and ADHD: A Prescription for Psychosis,” Professor Hasselmo’s expertise is brought in concerning the effects of psychedelics.
Ariane Garrett is no stranger to innovation. As a Biomedical Engineering PhD student in Professor Darren Robyler’s lab, she’s changing the game for medical professionals with her work on a new device that measures blood pressure with more frequency and precision than currently available technology.
Among those attracted to BU by this emphasis on convergence was David Boas. He’s a pioneer in neurophotonics, which combines engineering, optics, imaging, and neuroscience to study the brain. An ENG professor of biomedical engineering, Boas builds systems that use light to watch the brain in action and map neural activity. In collaborations with researchers at BU […]
Steve Ramirez’s answers the question of whether the wildly popular AppleTV+ show’s “severance” procedure is actually possible.
The Howe Lab studies how neural circuits motivate and direct actions to reach desired goals, and they have developed optical tools that allow them to study activity in a large structure located deep in the brain—called the striatum—which plays a critical role in such processes.
