Three SHBT Students Win Harvard Brain Initiative (HBI) Young Scientist Development Award
With the HBI award, Stephanie Haro was able to attend the National Science Foundation’s 3-week Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop. There she created an auditory attention switching protocol, collected pilot EEG data, and worked along side many influential auditory neuroscience professors from around the world.
The HBI award will support Sara Beach's travel to Helsinki, Finland to attend an educational course on investigating language with magnetoencephalography, and to present her research on decoding speech representations from neural signals at the annual meeting of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language.
The HBI award will support Meenakshi Asokan's travel to the conference on Neural Coding, Computation and Dynamics (NCCD 2019), where she will be giving a talk on her research work focused on neural correlates of perceptual awareness.
