Synchronization in Seizures and Tracking Targets
Bahar describes her work imaging seizures in the neocortex of rats. Using fluorescent dyes, Bahar and her graduate assistants measure the level of electrical synchronization between different areas of the brain. Her lab also researches “synchronization between eye movements and movement of a target” in both healthy and brain-injured subjects.
If you use it wisely, and you have a very gifted student to help with your research, the money from the Board grant really helps.
