Another NCM award winner: Michelle Heusser – PhD candidate in Raj Gandhi’s lab at Univ. Pittsburgh. Michelle will detail an approach to examine neural activity in the superior colliculus during the time between seeing a visual stimulus and making an eye movement toward it #NCMawi

9th NCM award winner: Daniela Buchwald Dr. Daniela - postdoc in Hans Scherberger lab at the German Primate Center Primatenzentrum DPZ. Daniela will discuss how object information obtained from different senses influences grasp planning in grasp-related areas in the macaque brain #NCMawi

10th #NCMawi: Jung Uk Kang J. K. Kang (Jung Uk Kang) -PhD candidate in Lawrence Snyder's lab at Washington University. Jung Uk will discuss whether and how interhemispheric communication supports bimanual coordination by showing behavioral & neural effects of posterior corpus callosum blockade

11th #NCMawi: Sara Hussain - postdoc fellow in Leonardo Cohen’s lab at the NINDS at NIH. Sara will present her recent findings showing that phase-dependent brain stimulation modulates motor learning while discussing how this work reveals the rhythmic nature of skill consolidation

Last #NCMAwi: Supriyo Choudhury (Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata) working with Stuart Baker & Hrishikesh Kumar @NeurosciNCLUni. He will present a trial showing that a wearable paired stimulation device can enhance reticulospinal connections, improving function after stroke
