On this episode of Engineering the Future, Addison Schwamb and BethAnna Jones, graduate students in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering, describe their systems-based approaches to brain dynamics and dispel some science-fiction inspired misconceptions. With their adviser ShiNung Ching, PhD, associate professor of electrical & systems engineering in McKelvey Engineering, Schwamb and Jones use mathematics to understand how the brain works and apply that knowledge to address questions at the intersection of engineering, brain science and human health.
