Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience in the Era of Big Data With Dr. Damien Fair

Developmental cognitive neuroscience is being pulled in new directions by network science and big data. Brain imaging (e.g. functional MRI, functional connectivity MRI), analytical advances (e.g. graph theory, machine learning), and access to large computing resources have empowered us to collect and process neuro-behavioral data faster and in larger populations than ever before. The clinical and translational potential from these advances is unparallelled, as a better understanding of complex human brain function is best grounded in the onset of these functions during human development. Here I examine the state of developmental cognitive neuroscience in the era of networks and ‘big data’ and highlight the solid footing we can take forward into future discovery and real world applications.

Great talk! For future videos, can you give audience members a mic? It's hard to hear the Q&A section of this talk.
