Fascinating faculty

Faculty Dialogues, Carnegie Mellon’s signature academic program for alumni, allows you to hear directly from innovative faculty as they discuss their research and how it is changing the world for the better in exciting webinar presentations.

Outcome of a brain injury is notoriously difficult to predict. Some patients recover fully, others suffer from effects throughout their lives. The talk will present novel noninvasive technologies to improve patient stratification and, separately, a new technique for brain stimulation that can help improve outcomes for those suffering from executive function deficits following the injury.
