The Tech Hub is excited to welcome Stanford Psychiatry Grand Rounds speaker, Dr. Adam Gazzaley, PhD, to join us for an intimate Q&A session on April 3rd 12-1 pm (Pacific). This discussion will expand upon themes covered in his Grand Rounds talk on “A New Era of Experiential Medicine: Cognitive Enhancement Technologies” and will be an opportunity to ask Dr. Gazzaley questions about his work in a more conversational setting.
A fundamental challenge of our global healthcare system is the development and distribution of effective treatments to enhance cognition in those suffering from diverse psychiatric and neurological conditions. Dr. Gazzaley will describe the use of custom-designed, closed-loop video games to achieve cognitive benefits in both healthy individuals (Nature 2013; Nature Human Behavior 2019; Nature Aging 2022, PNAS 2022) and patients (Lancet 2020). This approach has now yielded the first FDA-approved video game for any clinical condition. He will share with you the next stage of his research program, which integrates digitally-delivered experiences with the innovations in machine learning, virtual reality, multimodal physiological recordings, non-invasive electrical brain stimulation and psychedelics to enhance cognition.
About Dr. Adam Gazzaley: Dr. Adam Gazzaley obtained an M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, completed Neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania, and postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience at University of California, Berkeley. He is currently the David Dolby Distinguished Professor of Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco and the Founder & Executive Director of Neuroscape, a translational neuroscience center at UCSF engaged in technology creation and scientific research.
Come with your questions for Dr. Adam Gazzaley or, if you’d like to submit them ahead of time, you can email them to ashartle@stanford.edu. We hope to see you there!
