MIND GAMES
A visit to the largest neuroscience conference in the world shows that not everyone has the same sci-fi expectations for brain-computer interface technologies.
Dr. Thiago Arzua is a postdoctoral scientist at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute. He currently studies how traumatic experiences get epigenetically passed down through multiple generations. Before that, he completed his Ph.D. in neuroscience at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he used human stem-cell-derived brain organoids as models for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. Outside the lab Dr. Arzua is also an organizer and co-founder of Black In Neuro, as well as a policy ambassador for the Society for Neuroscience.
