In hoarse, whispering tones she explained how her voice had been instrumental to her vocation. Losing it, she said, undercut her life’s purpose. Her words were faint, but the lesson was powerful.
We invite graduate and undergraduate students, postdocs, junior specialists, and other trainees whose work is relevant to neuroengineering to submit abstracts.
How the brain remembers has a lot to do with focus. It’s in this area of cognitive science that Steven Luck, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, has built a career pushing the frontiers of both science and teaching.
Dr. Christina Kim is Assistant Professor, Core Faculty of the Center for Neuroscience, Department of Neurology Affiliate Faculty, and Affiliate Faculty at the Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine at UC Davis.
Hyoyoung Jeong, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, is one of 12 early-career faculty members who will receive a boost as this year's class of Hellman Fellows at the University of California, Davis.
New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety and hallucination-inducing qualities of psychedelic drugs work through different neural circuits, according to research using a mouse model. The work is published Nov. 15 in Science.
CITRIS and the Banatao Institute published an article about Dr. Zhaodan Kong's work. Select paragraphs are included below.
From fire-detecting drone swarms to optimally efficient human-autonomy collaboration, the UC Davis mechanical and aerospace engineer uses complex technological systems to address complex challenges.
