Nov 15, 2018–Nov 15, 2018 from 4:00pm–5:30pm
Talk by Dr. Jyoti Mishra (Assistant Professor at the Dept of Psychiatry, UC San Diego) on developing digital technologies that translate this neuroscientific knowledge to serve Indian children with mental disorders. Neuroscience has informed us how our brains optimally process information and take action to meet our goals. In this talk, Dr. Mishra will describe her research in developing digital technologies that translate this neuroscientific knowledge to serve Indian children with mental disorders. Her studies have been the first to understand how digital mental health tools benefit children in a global setting, and have focused on urban children with clinical disorders such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) as well as abandoned children with traumatic early life experiences. These studies also highlight successful collaboration between our academic institutions with hospitals and non-profit organizations in India, and enhance translational research capacity across the domains of neuroscience, cognitive science, technology and mental health. Dr. Jyoti Mishra is an Assistant Professor in the department of Psychiatry at UC San Diego. She is the founder and human research director of the Neural Engineering and Translation Labs (neatlabs.ucsd.edu). Her research emphasizes engineering of scalable & accessible, neuroscience evidence-based technologies to meet global mental health challenges.
