Exoskeleton robot helps researchers shed new light on learning and stroke recovery
UCalgary clinical trial maps how we learn motor skills, and the results could be a game-changer for stroke rehabilitation. This morning, you probably reached out of bed to turn off your alarm clock, and later brushed your teeth or buttoned a shirt. Those movements are routine; mundane, even. You are long past the point of…

Watch University of Calgary’s Lecture of a Lifetime 2022 with Dr. Samuel Weiss
Sustaining a career that includes making two major scientific discoveries, winning a Gairdner Award, founding the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, and a foray into health policy requires fuel — lots of it — and Dr. Samuel Weiss, PhD’83, knows how to find it. From being dragged back to school by his mom for the third year of…

UCalgary researchers use computer modelling to simulate impact of Alzheimer’s on the brain
New way to model neural disease could lead to better understanding Author: Shea Coburn, Hotchkiss Brain Institute A deep neural network is a computerized brain-inspired machine learning model, which uses many layers of simulated neurons to mimic the function of the cerebral cortex. Each layer in the network creates more complex activity, which simulates the…
