TEDxBerkeley - Bradley Voytek - 04/03/10

Bradley Voytek is completing his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at
the University of California, Berkeley. He studies the role of brain rhythms and electrophysiology in attention and memory by working with patients with electrodes implanted in their brains, patients who have had portions of their skull surgically removed, and patients with brain lesions. By working with these rare groups of people and using
sophisticated analysis methods he aims to learn how the brain communicates to improve patient outcomes.

TEDxBerkeley 2010 - Doing the Unprecedented - took place on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 at UC Berkeley. Over 700 attendees and 157,000 live-stream viewers enjoyed the day.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I got the sentence the first time as well. However I've done a lot of neuroscience studies as a participant so perhaps I have heard that sample before, or even learnt to interpret them better?

This is a "young" video. =p

nice talk, funny you put that bart pic

Totally agree about the interface between neuroscience and the clinical experience - see this every day in the office, and the missing links are so often found thru neuroscientific evidence. Well done!

No shit, and not thinking it's worth any pride, but I immediately understood that "She writes to her brother every day." example the first time. It sounded pretty creepy, but it was easy to understand. Thumbs up if you did also?

Great talk! I'm just beginning studies in the field of cognitive neuroscience, and your motivations for getting into this field really resonated with me. I look forward to hearing more about your work in the future (and sharing mine, once I have something to share). :)

Wonderful talk :) It was very inspiring for myself as I've recently started to realize that neuroscience is really the field I'd like to be in.

Great talk Brad!
