Brains in the cloud
Our Computational Neuroscience graduate alum, Jeremiah Wander, will be returning to UW this Thursday to join a Biosciences Careers panel discussing careers in technology. After graduating from Bioengineering with a thesis under the supervision of Rajesh Rao, Miah joined Desney Tan at Microsoft Research. Desney has been a long-time affiliate of the CSNE and of computational neuroscience at UW and Miah is working on projects in robotics. In the Thursday careers panel, Miah [...]
Brain-computer interfaces at Seattle Arts and Lectures
Rajesh Rao will be speaking about the CSNE's advances in brain-computer interfaces this Wednesday night at Kane Hall.
Thinking of studying Comp Neuro and Neural Engineering at UW?
Thinking of applying for PhD studies in Computational Neuroscience and Neural Engineering at UW? The University of Washington has a rich, active and highly collaborative community of researchers in the field of computational neuroscience and neural engineering. The University of Washington is a vibrant research university with a beautiful campus in a spectacular urban setting, with an ERC Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering, the UW Institute for Neuroengineering, close connections to the local [...]
Tech Sandbox winner continues to shine
Lars Crawford, graduate of the Neurobiology/Computational Neuroscience program's class of 2014, was recently accepted into the Technology Commercialization Fellowship Program at the University of Washington’s Center for Commercialization for his work on a virtual home rehabilitation system called vHAB. A kinematic hand sensor and custom EMG sleeve controls a set of dynamic games that emulate traditional upper extremity therapy tasks and is designed to keep patients motivated in their home rehabilitation while collecting [...]
Brain University continues
Our Seattle Arts and Lectures series, Hacking the Brain to Reveal, Repair, Rebuild, launched on October 1 with a mind-bogglingly fun and informative talk from Phil Horner about the use of stem cells to repair spinal cord. The series continues on October 22 with a talk by Beth Buffalo on the remarkable spatial coding properties of the hippocampus, for which the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology was awarded, and how we may be [...]
