Eilon Vaadia | Palestrante

Prof. Vaadia (Former Director and Founder of ELSC - The Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences, 2009-2016) combines theory and experiments to the study brain sensorimotor functions. The team at the lab uses brain-machine interfaces (BMI) electrical activity of neurons in brain circuits. In simple words, BMIs can read the to modulate and decipher the "brain’s intention” from its activity and further; BMI can be used to detect in real-time electrical patterns involved in a brain disease, and readjust these patterns to ameliorate the disease.
