Workshop Overview

Advances in understanding the brain both in healthy individuals and those suffering from a disorder have led to groundbreaking discoveries and engineering solutions. Together these advances hold the potential to ameliorate a wide range of neurological disorders and diseases and improve quality of life for those with neurological conditions. However, there are still many unanswered questions including the underlying causes of disease and disorders and the relationship of brain function to behavior. Development and deployment of effective neurotechnology and means of studying the brain through neuroimaging techniques and machine learning will require an integrated approach as well as close collaboration among the neuroengineering community, neuroscientists, and clinical practitioners. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners across academia, industry, and the clinical profession to highlight innovative neurotechnology and brain research methods, emphasizing their potential to improve understanding of the brain and address a wide range of disorders to improve the human condition.

This workshop is a satellite event to the 2023 Society for Neuroscience Conference and will be held at the Science and Engineering Hall (800 22nd St. NW), George Washington University, Washington, DC. The program will consist of three tracks covering emerging neurotechnologies, machine learning for brain discovery, and clinical applications and impact. Each track will include a keynote speaker and invited speakers who will discuss their work in the context of larger issues in each of these topic areas, and also participate in a panel following the invited talks. The program will also include a panel on the ethical implications of neurotechnology, as well as a panel by sponsoring agencies. Exhibits from the neurotech industry will be on display as well as poster presentations.

Emerging Neurotechnologies

In recent years a range of new neurotechnology innovations have emerged to enable neuroimaging and neural recording and interfacing at multiple scales in variety of settings—in the lab, in the clinic, and in the wild—including low-cost wearable electroencephalography (EEG), ultra-high density EEG, stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG), advanced functional near infrared spectrography (fNIRS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), functional ultrasound imaging (fUS),  optically pumped magnetometer magnetoencephalography (OPM-MEG), neural lace, neural dust, stent-electrode recording arrays (stentrodes) and endovascular recording techniques, multielectrode arrays, elrctocorticographic (ECoG) arrays, and optogenetics among others. This session aims to present examples of the latest scientific studies involving a selection of these approaches and host a panel discussion about what is feasible within the next 5-10 years with these latest advances in neurotech and the major opportunities and challenges in deploying these technologies.

Machine Learning for Brain Discovery

Advances in noninvasive neuroimaging technology such as magnetic resonance imaging and magnetoencephalography, have enabled the study of both the healthy and disordered human brain with increasing temporal and spatial resolution. Neuroimaging data poses some unique challenges such as low signal-to-noise ratio, small sample size, and high dimensionality. Recent methodological advances in machine learning have enabled the analysis of brain data across multiple scales and modalities. Current challenges and problems of interest include development of interpretable deep learning architectures for learning from neural data; network neuroscience for functional/structural connectivity network analysis, i.e., brain connectomics, across time and subjects; variability of brain networks across subjects; multimodal data fusion; classification and prediction of health status or specific outcomes through biomarker identification. This session aims to present examples of the latest research in machine learning for brain data involving a selection of these approaches and host a panel discussion on challenges and opportunities, including the transition to clinical practice as well as to more applied domains thinking of applications such as preventive predictive actions.

Clinical Applications and Impact

The first demonstration of a technology for a clinical application with impact was deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease. Interestingly, it took less than 25 years for this technology to become established with more than 80,000 patients having received an implant by 2010. Technologies that restore, replace, or enhance human nervous system function are emerging fast but few are used in daily clinical practice or at home. In this track, we will be presenting some of the most promising technologies that have broad clinical application prospects and discuss their remaining important challenges in the panel to follow. These include optogenetics-based therapies, where recent advances in optogenetic real-time monitoring and therapeutic interventions have opened up the possibility for providing a complementary treatment following brain injury; neuroprosthetics for the restoration of vision, hearing, or motor function; as well as neuromodulation devices such as brain-computer-interfaces.

She did her Ph.D. with Dr. Richard Stein at the University of Alberta, Canada, and then did a postdoc training with Dr. Jonathan Wolpaw at the Wadsworth Center in Albany, NY. During her Ph.D., she was engaged in non-invasive human neurophysiology / plasticity research related to the use of FES (functional electrical stimulation) foot drop simulator; she also started investigating normal and abnormal spinal reflex modulation during walking and other dynamic movements in people with and without chronic CNS disorders. Then, during her postdoc, she developed the human H-reflex operant conditioning protocol. In 2007, she established her own lab at Helen Hayes Hospital in NY.
