  1. **The Brain** in Brain Computer Interface An Do, MD Department of Neurology University of California, Irvine

  2. The Brain Source of thought, behaviors, and perceptions Composed of billions of neurons in interconnected networks

  3. Brain Anatomy Parietal Lobe Frontal Lobe Occipital Lobe Cerebellum Temporal Lobe Brainstem • 3 Major Parts • Cerebrum • Frontal lobe • Temporal lobe • Parietal lobe • Occipital lobe • Brainstem • Cerebellum

  4. Movement Sensation Coordination

  5. Left vs Right Brain

  6. The Nervous System

  7. Brain Function Integration • Integration of all brain functions and neurological processes is similar to how multi-core computer processors work.

  8. Diseases of the Nervous System • In such a complicated system, if any part is damaged, many problems can occur. • Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroscientists study these problems

  9. Stroke

  10. Seizures

  11. Parkinson’s disease

  12. Dementia

  13. Brain Cancer

  14. Spinal Cord Injury

  15. Neurological Injury • Injury to the nervous system often causes irreversible damage • results in disability, sometimes devastating • occasionally results in very bizarre symptoms • Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroscientists are actively studying brain injury to arrive at new understanding of the brain and new treatments • the Brain Computer Interface is one such example

  16. Why study the brain and nervous system ? • It’s the control center ! • There are many things even scientists still don’t know • Search for better understanding of brain function and brain repair • The answer to these problems will rely not only on the current generation of physicians and scientists alone, but also on future generations to come
