Presented By: Angelique C. Paulk, PhD Speaker Biography: Angelique C Paulk currently works as an Instructor at the Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, Massachusetts carrying out research in neurophysiology, neuroscience, and behavior focused on understanding the neural underpinnings of behavior leading to treatments in neurological and neuropsychiatric disease. Through undergraduate and Masters’ Thesis work at Cornell University, a Ph.D. at the University of Arizona, a first postdoctoral position at the Queensland Brain Institute in Australia, and work at MGH, Dr. Paulk's approach has been built on an intentional multidisciplinary approach founded on technological development and utilization in the context of robust science predicated on careful observation followed by hypothesis testing. Past projects include understanding vision and attention in insects and the TRANSFORM DBS funded by the DARPA SUBNETs program which involved using closed loop stimulation to neuromodulate cognitive flexibility in humans. Dr. Paulk currently works with intracranial data to study neural and cognitive processing in the human brain recorded using intracranial electrodes, including investigating the mechanisms of how direct electrical stimulation alters neural processing and behavior. Webinar: Higher Resolution Electrodes Improve Our Understanding Human Brain, Cognition, and Neurological Pathologies Webinar Abstract: Neuroscience is experiencing an exciting era of integrating novel materials and tools to record neural activity made possible through significant advances in materials science, electrical engineering, and computer science. Certain technologies integrating these advances, such as Neuropixels, has exponentially moved forward our understanding of brain function in rodents and other model systems. However, even though current standards recording from human brain cells in vivo have provided incredible insight into how the human brain works in the past 30 years, the shift from lower spatial resolution...
