SUMMARY:Convergence: The future of Art\, Neuroscience\, and Immersive Tech
DESCRIPTION:Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) are finally here\, and although many people are still unaware of them\, they’re about to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. In these early days of immersive technologies\, there is limitless potential to define how we will use these new media. Recent breakthroughs in the neurosciences offer a compelling opportunity: making virtual what was once only real in individual’s own mind\, unlocking an unprecedented new avenue for communication and empathy. Inspired by these neuroscientific discoveries and the sci-fi capabilities enabled by immersive technologies\, Oscillations is a performing arts company designed to chart new territory along this avenue in a highly creative way. \nJoin Oscillations for an interdisciplinary panel discussion on the future of art\, neuroscience\, and immersive technologies. Professors and students across various departments at Northwestern University will offer their insights into what this future might look like\, and Oscillations will take you behind-the-scenes of the making of a virtual reality experience.

SUMMARY:Personalized Medicine
DESCRIPTION:How can knowing your genetic code help you? Genetic conditions\, ones you are born with or are predisposed to\, affect people of all ages\, race\, and gender. The treatment for these conditions are not so universal and recent research shows that patient-specific treatment can produce a better response and reduce the risk of side effects. Knowing what diseases you’re predisposed to can even allow you to take preventive actions to drastically decrease your chances of getting the disease. Emerging technologies\, such as CRISPR-Cas9\, zinc finger\, and other gene therapies\, have brought personalized medicine to the forefront of medical research and hope for finding cures to genetic diseases. \nJoin C2ST\, Lurie Children’s Hospital\, and AbbVie for a panel discussion on the current clinical implications of personalized medicine\, how individualized therapies are designed\, and what the future of personalized medicine promises.

SUMMARY:Invisible Influence: How microbes rule our lives (Taste of Science @ Reggie's)
DESCRIPTION:The Taste of Science Festival continues at Reggie’s. Come nosh on tasty science bites\, being served up in your favorite bars! \nUniversity of Chicago professor Jack Gilbert\, PhD will discuss “Invisible Influence: How Microbes Rule Our Lives.” \nThe human microbiome is quickly being recognized as a dynamic part of the human ecosystem\, and research is starting to demonstrate that using ecology to understand this ecosystem has profound benefits for patient wellness. The immune system controls our interaction with the microbial world\, and yet the microbial communities in our bodies are central to modulating the immune response. \nHow is it that these unseen organisms living in and on our bodies affect our health\, happiness\, and day-to-day lives? \n\n\nEvent information: \n\nThis event is 21+ only\nDrinks and food will be available for purchase ($1 tacos and half off all drafts!)\nTickets are free\, $5.00 suggested donation at the door\n\nGet your free tickets here.

SUMMARY:The Earth's energy and climate futures (Taste of Science @ The Beer Bistro)
DESCRIPTION:The Taste of Science Festival continues at The Beer Bistro. Come nosh on tasty science bites\, being served up in your favorite bars! \nUniversity of Chicago associate professor Liz Moyer\, PhD will discuss “The Earth’s Energy and Climate Futures.” \n\n\nEnergy is the foundation of the human economy\, but our energy system is now so large that its waste product\, CO2\, can alter global climate. We’ll discuss the scale of humanity’s activities\, their physical effects\, and possible energy technologies of the future.  One goal is to provide simple physical frameworks and back-of-the-envelope calculations that can lead to core insights (for example\, that biofuels cannot be a solution\, or that CO2 tends to make climate less rather than more variable). \n\n\n\n\n  \nEvent information: \n\nThis event is open to all ages\nDrinks and food will be available for purchase\nTickets are free\, $5.00 suggested donation at the door\n\nGet your free tickets here.

SUMMARY:Getting wired: restoring movement and sensation through a brain-computer interface (Taste of Science @ Baderbrau)
DESCRIPTION:The Taste of Science Festival continues at The Beer Bistro. Come nosh on tasty science bites\, being served up in your favorite bars! \nUniversity of Chicago associate professor Sliman Bensmaia\, PhD will discuss “Biological and bionic hands: Natural neural coding and artificial perception.” \n\n\nOur ability to manipulate objects dexterously relies fundamentally on sensory signals originating from the hand. To restore motor function with upper-limb neuroprostheses requires that somatosensory feedback be provided to the tetraplegic patient or amputee. To this end\, we develop approaches to intuitively convey sensory information that is critical for object manipulation through electrical stimulation of the sensory areas of the brain. \n\n\n\n\nNorthwestern professor Lee Miller\, PhD will discuss “We zap the body electric: Restoring movement following paralysis with brain-controlled functional electrical stimulation.” \nSpinal cord injury is devastating\, and there is currently no real treatment. Ultimately we’d want to regrow the spinal cord\, but in the meantime\, it is now possible to literally reconnect the brain and muscles electronically. I will describe experiments in which we eavesdrop directly on signals in a monkey’s brain\, translate them into appropriate control signals\, and send them to an electrical stimulator that causes muscles to contract\, thereby allowing voluntary control of paralyzed muscles. \nEvent information: \n\nThis event is open to all ages\nDrinks and food will be available for purchase\nTickets are free\, $5.00 suggested donation at the door\n\nGet your free tickets here.
