MICCAI 2021 Daily – Thursday

that we can get, we can only have an idea of what is happening. We don’t know exactly. Can you tell us at least one thing that you’ve learned that you didn’t know know before? When I started with electrophysiology, I knew that in animals, when I send a stimulation, I knew the potential. I know that in this kind of pathology, when I send a stimulation, for example in the median nerve, we can predict the potential to arrive at the deep brain in the thalamus to distinguish between motor and sensory - this is super important. It is frequency-dependent. Depending on the frequency of the stimulation that you send, your response in the brain will be associated with this stimulation. This is cool! The other thing is the timing of the potentials, which means when I send the stimulation in the deep brain, and I am measuring another part of the brain, for example basal ganglia or thalamic nuclei, we can predict the timing, when we send the stimulation, when the signal arrives at the area of interest. Here, I’ve learned a lot. We are still learning because it’s a big thing. You have moved from a Mediterranean country, with all of its nice things, to another country. Can you explain why you moved? I moved only for science. My advisor Terence Sanger is one of the most recognized neuroscientists in the field. He knows a lot, and I want to learn from him. 26 DAILY MICCAI Thursday Women in Science Manila Friends “How does the brain work?”
