Dr. Ryan T. Canolty was a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Jose Carmena in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, California. His research focused on elucidating cross-level coupling in multi-scale brain networks to characterize the interactions between different spatial and temporal levels of brain organization. This work aimed to facilitate the development of stimulation-based clinical devices and rehabilitative therapies to aid recovery following traumatic brain injury or stroke. He earned his Ph.D. in cognitive/computational neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley, California, and his B.S. in mathematics and cognitive neuroscience from the University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia.
