University fair hosts 35 exhibits as part of week-long effort to present brain science in R.I.

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University, where I study circuit mechanisms of state-dependent sensory processing in the visual system.

Theresa Desrochers, PhD is Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University. Dr. Desrochers joined Brown and BIBS in September 2016.

Alex Jaworski, PhD is June G. Zimmerman Assistant Professor of Brain Science and Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University. He joined Brown and BIBS in July 2013.

These awards support brain science projects involving scientists from any of the institutions represented on the RINLC: Brown University, University of Rhode Island, Lifespan Hospitals, Care New England Hospitals, and the Providence VA Medical Center.

Project teams will be encouraged to work as entrepreneurs to advance technologies for medical devices, create innovations, and translate their ideas into solutions within neuroengineering. Prizes will be awarded to the top teams at the end of the semester program-wide competition.

I participated in the BP-ENDURE Program at Brown in the summer of 2015 and summer 2016.

I participated in the BP-ENDURE program at Brown in the summer of 2015.

The Corporation approved the appointment of the following faculty to named chairs at this and other recent meetings.

Alexander Fleischmann, PhD is Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University. He was previously a Principal Investigator at Collège de France, in Paris. Dr. Fleischmann joined Brown and BIBS in January 2018.

I participated in the BP-ENDURE program at Brown during the summer of 2017.

What year did you participate in the BP-ENDURE Program at Brown?
I was there the summer of 2015.

I am an Assistant Professor of Engineering at Brown University, the Brown Institute for Brain Science, and the Providence VA Medical Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology.

I work as an NRC postdoc at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. My home research group here, called the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence, focuses on cognitive science and cognitive robotics.

Brain-computer interfaces sound like the stuff of science fiction. Andrew Palmer sorts the reality from the hype.

I lead an AI Software and Research group at Intel.

The trial is designed for cognitively healthy adults, aged 60 to 75 years old, who carry at least one copy of the APOE4 gene and have a build-up of cerebral amyloid in the brain, both risk markers for Alzheimer’s.

I majored in biochemistry with a supplemental major in Spanish.

My name is Drew Linsley, and I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow associated with the Brown Institute for Brain Science (BIBS) and the Initiative for Computation in Brain and Mind (CBM).

I am a postdoctoral researcher working on computational models of human learning and decision processes, with a special focus on how people search for and select from available information to build accurate representations of the world.

My academic interests in high school were primarily rooted in the biological sciences. However, I also very much enjoyed studying mathematics, history, English literature, and religion.

The brain is superbly important but remains pretty mysterious. I think it's important to understand how certain mutations or certain ailments can affect the brain and its functions in order to begin proper treatment.

My research interests are specifically in understanding the mechanism and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

I really enjoy spending time outdoors running, camping, and hiking. Or just spending a day on the green enjoying the sun. Anything to get the most out of a good day.
