Capturing and Enhancing Episodic Memories Made in the Wild

Register now

One of the ultimate goals of neuroscience is to explain real-world, human behavior in terms of the activities of the brain and to translate these discoveries into therapeutic approaches that can help those suffering from neural disorders. Our ability to understand and treat debilitating neurological disorders, like Alzheimer’s disease, will depend on our knowledge of how the human brain fails to make memories and forget, not only in controlled laboratory experiments, but also in experiments that capture the complexity, scale, and functional characteristics of memories made in the real-world. During this talk, Dr. Inman will discuss his past and ongoing research investigating the use of direct brain recordings to examine how the brain makes new memories in real-world environments. Further, based on prior work using the Blackrock CereStim, he’ll discuss how we might use direct brain stimulation to the human amygdala to enhance memory for the events of our lives.
