Session

Description: How can we know the “state” of the brain at any given moment? And can we neuromodulate this state? There is growing interest in moving past simple small-scale biomarkers and toward a wholistic characterization of functional brain states at large timescales to better inform neuromodulation paradigms. We will explore the novel and exciting work being done to characterize the extremely high-dimensional information that exists in large timescale electrophysiological recordings. We will then discuss the potential to adaptively neuromodulate these brain states to improve functional patient outcomes in diseases like epilepsy, depression, and binge-eating disorder.
