Neuroengineering Symposium 

UC Davis Office of Research, Strategic Initiatives Group

<H3 STYLE="text-align: center;">Symposium</H3>
<H3 STYLE="text-align: center;">“Functional significance of oscillatory brain activity and Closed-loop stimulation”</H3>
<H3>Topic </H3>
Synchronized oscillatory brain activity has been proposed to play an important role in changing functional connectivity and therefore controlling information flow in the brain. Other proposed roles include, for example, which aspect of a memory is supposed to be retrieved. Testing these ideas experimentally is difficult, but closed-loop stimulation approaches seem promising. In addition to applications in basic neuroscience, closed-loop stimulation is also starting to play a role in clinical applications. This symposium will provide an overview over the current state of the field and discuss challenges and future directions.
