What can a stroke tell us about brain development and communication?
How can brain-computer interfacing reduce surgery time? What can a
blind man avoiding obstacles in a room tell us about vision and
consciousness?
Bradley Voytek (ketyov.com) is completing his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at
the University of California, Berkeley. He studies the role of brain
rhythms and electrophysiology in attention and memory by working with
patients with electrodes implanted in their brains, patients who have
had portions of their skull surgically removed, and patients with
brain lesions. By working with these rare groups of people and using
sophisticated analysis methods he aims to learn how the brain
communicates to improve patient outcomes.
He collaborates with researchers at top universities around the world on neuroscience and brain mapping.

TEDxBerkeley is curated by UC Berkeley and the executive team from the Berkeley Computer Science Undergraduate Association (CSUA). Thanks to our sponsors, Dorsey & Whitney.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBerkeley, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBerkeley event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
“…in 2006 he split Time Magazine’s Person of the Year award.”
Very funny.
