ASU-Barrow Neuro-Engineering & Computational Neuroscience Symposium
Description
The first annual ASU-Barrow Neuro-Engineering and Computational Neuroscience Symposium will recognize and promote research within engineering, life sciences, and physical sciences with a core focus on the development and use of inter-disciplinary, quantitative approaches to:
- Understanding the workings of the human brain and mind
- Translating findings to repair and augment brain function
The symposium will offer ample opportunity to showcase original research through investigator-led presentations and student and postdoc-led posters. Attendees will get a chance to network with researchers from Barrow Neurological Institute and Arizona State University while identifying possibilities for collaboration between the two institutions to bridge the gap between research and medical practice.
There is no cost to attend.
Course Learning Objectives
- Exposure to the depth and breadth of research at ASU and Barrow in neuro-engineering and computational neuroscience via data blitz presentations from principal investigators and posters from lab members
- Assessment of available mechanisms to support interinstitutional research collaborations while discussing a collaborative framework to streamline partnerships
