Two national-level awards were granted to Dr. Smith (PI) and the NSPM Lab in collaboration with Dr. Paul Ferrari (Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital), Ismail Mohamed (UAB Children’s), Larry Ver Hoef (UAB Neurology), and Benjamin Cox (UAB Neurology). The AES Junior Investigator Award funds work toward localizing seizures with neural resonance and triggering native seizures using dynamical network models. The CURE Epilepsy Taking Flight Award funds virtual stimulation in interictal EEG and MEG networks to localize regions of high cortical excitability. With these two awards, and a supplemental pilot award from UAB’s Consortium for Neuroengineering and Brain Computer Interface, we hope to gather sufficient preliminary data to submit R-level NIH and NSF grants next year. So proud of this team!
