Reverse Engineering, and Repairing, the Brain and Mind

February 23, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Leading a group of the most brilliant and groundbreaking MIT engineers as directors of the MIT Center for Neurobiological Engineering (CNBE), Dr. Alan Jasanoff and Dr. Ed Boyden make a historic visit to the MIT graduate residences for a lecture and interactive panel discussion about the quest to solve one of the greatest challenges of our time. Dr. Boyden and Dr. Jasanoff have received numerous awards for some of the most groundbreaking work in neuroscience and neuroengineering of the 21st century. Their work is revolutionizing the study of the brain, including understanding neural mechanisms, brain disease, cognition, memory and more.

Send us your questions for Dr. Boyden and Dr. Jasanoff during registration, or post it to social media with the hashtag #neuroMITSP. The top questions will be selected days in advance, used during the panel discussion, and will win an invitation for dinner with Dr. Boyden and Dr. Jasanoff after lecture and panel discussion. The event will feature a live social media feed.
