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 universities around the world and
in 2006 he split Time Magazine’s Person of the Year award.
