Shai is a data scientist with experience in cognitive neuroscience who is passionate about making a difference to people’s life through non-invasive interventions for neurological conditions.
Her project is looking into a wearable device that can treat epileptic seizures through a targeted, non-invasive interaction with the brain.
As a Blue Sky Fellow, hosted by The Milner Therapeutics Institute, Shai will explore: Non-invasive detection and prevention of epileptic seizures.
Imagine wearing a headband or having a small aid behind your ear that can detect when a seizure is going to occur, alert you, and simultaneously provide a targeted personalised treatment to prevent it or at least reduce its effect.”
