Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Dr. Sydney Cash is Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and epileptologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Cash received his BS in Biology from Yale before going on to pursue an MD/PhD at Columbia University. Following residency in Neurology at MGH/BWH, Dr. Cash completed a fellowship in epilepsy and neurophysiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Cash's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying both normal and pathological cortical activity and developing novel neuroprosthetic approaches for treating a wide variety of neurological problems. This work, funded by NIH, DOD, NSF and foundation grants, has melded issues spanning basic neuroscientific questions of the physiology that underlie normal oscillatory activity, sleep and cognition, to issues surrounding how the brain transitions from one state to another including from normal activity to seizure activity and how seizures can be localized and treated. He has also been a member of the BrainGate clinical trial team and, therefore, involved in the development of BCI’s for the treatment of severe neurological disabilities. His work utilizes signal processing, advanced recording and machine learning techniques and, most pertinent to this conference, high density recording systems of many different types to access neural information in the human brain.
