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.
We live in an incredibly noisy world. The relentless hum of traffic, industrial machinery, and motorized tools has become a constant presence—and source of irritation—in our daily lives. Yet, ambient noise is more than a mere inconvenience; it impacts mental and physical health.
In a historic first for BU, the LEXI telescope is operating from the lunar surface and will image Earth’s magnetic shield
Will Cunningham doesn’t just study how neuronal circuits control systems of movement––he’s making several moves of his own. While pursuing his PhD at Boston University, he’s serving as a member of the Economo lab group, and simultaneously helping to found the Neurophotonics Training Organization (NPTO), a student chapter that will house individual student groups under […]
In this inaugural episode, the NPC podcast team explores the cutting-edge world of neurophotonics with professor and NPC director David Boas––exploring how light-based technologies transform neuroscience research.
On January 15, 2025, the Neurophotonics Center co-hosted its 8th annual symposium event alongside the Hariri Institute, in an event organized by NPC faculty Meg Younger and Christopher Gabel. The symposium topic, “Neurophotonics Across the Animal Kingdom,” included studies on schooling fish, C. elegans., songbirds, and more.
