Next Tuesday, October 28, Dominican will be hosting a very interesting lecture on brain research in Parmer 108 at 6 p.m. Dr. Jeff Lewine of the Alexian Brothers Center for Brain Research will be lecturing on Neuro MEG technology, a new kind of method for mapping the brain and learning more about conditions such as autism. Dr. Lewine practices Magnetoencephalography, which is basically mapping magnetic fields caused by electrical activity in the brain to create an accurate image of the brain.
Even though I have little to no knowledge of neuroscience, this lecture seems extremely interesting; if I didn't have class at the time it's being held, I would attend. But it's a chance to learn more about the extremely complex human brain, and what doctors are doing to try and find cures for the most challenging medical diagnoses.
