Hack the Brain with Tech | Women in STEM

What new technologies are redefining how we study pain? Neuroscience PhD candidate Lindsay Ejoh explains three technologies that she uses in her research. One allows her to program pain neurons to shut down in response to a drug, resulting in pain relief. Another programs neurons to light up when activated, allowing her to visually track neurological pain responses in real time. A third technology uses AI to analyze video footage of animal models and characterize their behaviors. These new innovations are speeding the pace of research and changing how we understand chronic pain and other neurological conditions!
