Dr. Avantika Mathur is awarded $750 Postdoc Travel Grant from the Office of Graduate Studie at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She will attend 2019 Cognitive Neuroscience Society Meeting in San Francisco, CA next March. Congratulations on her achievements.
10.19.2018 4-6 p.m. City Campus Students Union – CEHS Showcase The NL3 Wang Lab presented at the showcase event. It was lots of fun. We got to talk to people about our research. We also ask visitors questions about the brain. Whoever came up with the correct answer received a Lab T-shirt. At the end…
Dr. Barlow and Dr. Wang gave 35 summer camp students from Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science & Management a tour at CB3. Dr. Mathur, Fatima and Cristal participated and demonstrated how the MRI simulator system works. When the group arrived at CB3, they were given a 30-minute introduction session about the center and…
The NIH Common Fund organized the 2018 High-Risk, High-Reward Research Symposium. The symposium took place June 6-8, 2018, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Bethesda, MD. The symposium brought together recipients of the NIH Director’s Pioneer, New Innovator, Transformative Research, and Early Independence awards to share their groundbreaking research and discoveries. Dr. Wang attended the symposium…
The NL3 Lab starts a new study investigating outcomes for cochlear implant. This study aims to use brain image to identify neural predictors of outcomes for a cochlear implant. The neural predictors may provide a more comprehensive understanding of individual variability in CI outcomes and thus more reliably inform prognosis. More info
The NL3 Lab starts a new study of the reading brain in children with and without hearing loss. Based on current behavioral studies, it remains unknown whether children with hearing loss (CHL) use neural processes that are similar to those used by children with typical hearing (CTH) while learning to read. The specific neural…
Title: The Reading Brain – White matter development in children at risk for dyslexia Abstract: Developmental dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a strong genetic basis. Previous studies observed white matter alterations in the left posterior brain regions in adults and school age children with dyslexia. However, no study yet has examined the development of…
The College of Education and Human Science (CEHS) offers a scholar enhancement program which helps new faculty members navigator academic career. A team of 14 faculties went to Washington, DC and aimed to meet many officers from different funding agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institution of Health (NIH), and Institute of Educational…
The Spring Research Fair (Undergraduate Research Conference) was held on April 11, 2018 at the Nebraska Union. UCare students Laura Munn, Ellie Watkins and Nicole Walters presented their research poster titled “Brain connectivity related to executive function in children with and without a familial risk for dyslexia”. They were able to present their findings as…
Dr. Wang’s proposal titled “Identifying Neural and Behavioral Characteristics of Reading in Children with Hearing Loss” was favorably reviewed and awarded $10,000.00 from the Layman Fund, held at the University of Nebraska Foundation. The Layman Award project period will be from May 1, 2018, to April 30, 2019. Dr. Wang’s application to the Layman Seed…
