 | Assistant Professor of NeuroscienceAfter completing a PhD at the Université de Montréal in Kinesiology, I came to Brown to study how the brain controls movements and how it learns new ones using mostly fMRI. I am very interested in better understanding how motor memories are formed and kept in long-term memory.

 | Investigator in NeuroscienceBeata received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at the University of Pittsburgh, where she characterized a novel sleep state in the rat, small irregular activity, in the laboratory of William Skaggs. She did two postdocs, one with Andy Schwartz at the University of Pittsburgh, where she used neural interfaces in monkeys to study plasticity and the brain's solution to the "credit assignment problem," and the second with Mriganka Sur at MIT, where she used two-photon imaging to characterize the tuning properties of distinct sets of projection neurons in the ferret visual system. She joined BrainGate in January 2010, where she is investigating whether and how neural plasticity can be exploited to improve the neural control of prosthetic devices.

 | Assistant Professor of Neuroscience (Research)My research focus is in using dynamical systems theory mathematics and computational neuroscience to study neural dynamics in health and disease. Currently, I develop biophysically principled computational neural models to bridge the critical gap between human brain imaging signals (MEG/EEG) and their underlying cellular and network level generators. I am applying these techniques to study healthy brain functions including attention, development and aging, and neural pathologies such as Encephalopathy of Prematurity and Parkinson's Disease. I have affiliate appointments in the Fetal-Neonatal Neuroimaging and Developmental Science Center at Children's Hospital Boston and the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Mass.

 | Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and Assistant Professor of NeuroscienceCarl Saab is a PhD Neuroscientist studying nervous system diseases. He obtained his PhD in 2001 from the University of Texas Medical Branch in the field of pain research mapping pain pathways in the cerebellum (thesis advisor WD Willis). He then completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Stephen Waxman at Yale studying sodium channelopathies in pain and multiple sclerosis. Currently Carl is Assistant Professor at Brown University & Rhode Island Hospital, Neurosurgery and Neuroscience.
