Sri Sarma joins Mark Mattson on his Brain Ponderings podcast to discuss:

Neurological disorders involve aberrant neural network activity. New technologies are needed for establishing at a fine spatial and temporal resolution the nature of the altered network activity – and for restoring activity to or towards a healthy state. Professor Sri Sarma is an electrical engineer and neuroscientist who is at the forefront of this research field. Her research combines learning theory and control systems with neuroscience to develop novel approaches for understanding normal brain function and then developing brain – computer – electrophysiology feedback control systems to improve performance in health and disease. Her research and technology development is advancing personalized treatments for epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, and depression.
