Her project involves gathering data from intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) via electrodes implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients undergoing brain mapping as part of clinical care procedures. Ultimately, it is a linchpin of most cognitive abilities,” said Ofen, principal investigator in the Cognitive and Brain Development Lab. To learn more about how UT Dallas is enhancing lives through transformative research, explore New Dimensions: The Campaign for UT Dallas. Ofen said that determining what allows older children to do better on memory tasks could shed light on which neurophysiological aspects aren’t maturing or developing optimally in children with inadequate memory development. “This work has the potential to open new dimensions in understanding brain development with more localized, temporally precise measures than ever before,” she said.
