 About the Speaker - Emery N. Brown, M.D., Ph.D. is the Massachusetts General Hospital Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School and a professor of Health Sciences and Technology and a of computational neuroscience at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received a BA in Applied Mathematics (magna cum laude) from Harvard College, his M.D. (magna cum laude) from Harvard Medical School and a Ph.D. in statistics from Harvard University. Dr. Brown is an anesthesiologist-statistician whose statistical research focuses on the development of signal processing algorithms to characterize how the patterns of electrical discharges from neurons in the brain represent information. His experimental research uses a systems neuroscience approach to study how anesthetic drugs act in the brain to create the state of general anesthesia. Dr. Brown is a member of the Institute of Medicine and a recipient of a 2007 NIH Director’s Pioneer Award.
