DESCRIPTION:Leveraging brain research to change scientific culture\, educat
 ion\, and infrastructure\n\nDr. Satrajit Ghosh\n\nMassachusetts Institute 
 of Technology\n\nWith a high-level panel of leaders in science\, technolog
 y\, on-the-ground action\, investment\, and policy\n\nRegister & watch web
 inar\n\nThe advent and pervasive use of smartphones\, wearables\, and conn
 ected devices together with significant advances in neurotechnology and co
 mputation offer a unique opportunity to understand phenotypic variation in
  a large population. We can track individuals longitudinally\, relate thes
 e data to life and clinical outcomes\, and potentially intervene or nudge.
  Actualizing this vision and painting a comprehensive picture of an indivi
 dual requires solving problems in dealing with data integration\, improvin
 g neuroscientific understanding\, developing new algorithms and models\, a
 nd reasoning with information. In this talk\, I will use several ongoing p
 rojects from our group to illustrate progress towards this complex system 
 that will cover translational applications of human communication\, machin
 e learning technologies for precision psychiatry and medicine\, and infras
 tructure solutions to preserve information and accelerate collaboration fo
 r knowledge generation. Doing this work has come with the significant ackn
 owledgment of the gaps in our individual training and how to overcome thes
 e deficits and increase our knowledge through communities of practice\, th
 rough shared data and resources\, and through better research infrastructu
 re.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nSatrajit Ghosh is a Principal Research Scienti
 st at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and an Assistant Pr
 ofessor of Otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School. He is a computer scie
 ntist and computational neuroscientist by training. He directs the Senseab
 le Intelligence Group whose research portfolio comprises projects on spoke
 n communication\, brain imaging\, and informatics to address gaps in scien
 tific knowledge in three areas: the neural basis and translational applica
 tions of human spoken communication\, machine learning approaches to preci
 sion psychiatry and medicine\, and preserving information for reproducible
  research and knowledge genera-tion. He is a co-PI of the DANDI project\, 
 a BRAIN Initiative archive for cellular neurophysiology. He is a member of
  the scientific steering committees of Neurodata Without Borders\, the All
 en Institute OpenScope project\, and the Healthy Brain and Cognitive Devel
 opment study. He directs Openmind\, the neuroscience computing cluster at 
 MIT that serves about 30 PIs and 600 users. He was one of the lead archite
 cts of Nipype\, a workflow platform that supports the neuroimaging com-mun
 ity.\n\nAbout the series\n\nThe Precision Convergence series is launched t
 o catalyze unique synergy between\, on the one hand\, novel partnerships a
 cross sciences\, sectors and jurisdictions around targeted domains of real
 -world solutions\, and on the other hand\, a next generation convergence o
 f AI with advanced research computing and other data and digital architect
 ures such as PSC’s Bridges-2\, and supporting data sharing frameworks such
  as HuBMAP\, informing in a real time as possible the design\, deployment 
 and monitoring of solutions for adaptive real-world behavior and context.
 \n\nThe Precision Convergence Webinar Series is co-hosted by The McGill Ce
 ntre for the Convergence of Health and Economics (MCCHE) at McGill Univers
 ity and The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center\, a joint computational resea
 rch center between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsb
 urgh.\n\n \n
