My dear friend Ryan Walsh is now the director of the Parkinson’s Disease & Movement Disorders Program at Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.  He was featured in the following article and I was fortunate enough to be mentioned:

I recently gave a talk at the fabulous "What if" Workshop in London Called:

Hearing lips and… hands,smiles and print too: How listening to words in the wild is not all that auditory to the brain

And got to go to War Horse at the New London Theatre after The Princess Louise

Etc. 

The bulk of the equipment for understanding the human mind and brain breaks down as follows:  fMRI has fine spatial resolution.  EEG has exceptional temporal resolution.  To truly understand the mind/brain, however, we need both in the same piece of equipment.  We believe that we are starting to achieve this goal with source localization of high density electroencephalography (4D-dEEG).  We present, for the first time in history, a picture of the human brain watching television in real space and time (i.e., the holy grail is 4D-dEEG).  This initial attempt is the average brain response of 27 people with a threshold applied so that you can see only the top 50% of the electrical activity pouring out of the skull. Thank you NIH and NSF. 

In my youthful idealism as a new professor I preached about how the L.A.B. Lab was socially conscious for switching to an open source operating system (i.e., Ubuntu; see: http://lablab.hamilton.edu/lab/news/anothernerdswitches).  I suppose this is what I get:

My seniors are genius:  An epic night of trying to get EEG experiments running ended in my seniors showing me the following YouTube clips that must be watched in succession.
