5.3: Presentation session: Keynote speaker and making a difference: Identifying and closing the knowledge gaps discussion/forum: “An engineer´s view of neuroscience”

The neuroscience-related challenges facing civilian and military communities are significant. From nervous system trauma to neurodegenerative diseases, the burden of neurological problems is large. Engineering and computation are poised to make major contributions to understanding nervous system dynamics in health and disease, as well as offer innovative solutions to pressing neurological problems. This presentation will address these challenges, offer a view over the research and development horizon of emergent technologies, and address cultural issues involved with cross-cutting research.
