CB3 Tour for summer camp students from Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science & Management
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…
Study Outcomes of Cochlear Implant
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
Understanding the Reading Brain
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…
Dr. Wang Gave Talk at Department of Statistics
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…
2018 Spring Research Fair
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…
