Episode description
On this week's Tech Nation, Moira speaks with the National Football League turns to science to work on head trauma. I speak with three scientists collaborating on a concussion imaging study funded by the General Electric/NFL Head Health Challenge. What data do they collect? What are they looking at? And what are they looking for.
Gunnar Carlsson, Pek Lum and Adam Ferguson. Dr. Carlsson is a professor of mathematics at Stanford University, and co-founder of the data analytics firm Ayasdi, where Dr. Pek Lum is the Chief Data Scientist. With Adam Ferguson from the UCSF Brain and Spinal Injury Centre, they talk about their work analyzing brain images of concussions.
Then on BioTech Nation, it's BioIssue of the Week with David Ewing Duncan. If we decode our brains, can we decode our minds?
And on BioTech Nation, one cancer pharmaceuticals company focused on disruptive science.
