Summer Neurobiology Coursework at Johns Hopkins University

I wrote a review article on Brain-Computer Interfaces, exploring how computers and the brain can interact, and studied their four key pillars: signal acquisition, feature extraction, feature translation, and device output. For my final project, I created a short story on Alzheimer’s disease, focusing on the protein Tau and its role in neurodegeneration, inspired by my grandfather’s experience with dementia.

The course deepened my understanding of neural networks and their connection to artificial intelligence, highlighting the intersection of neuroscience, computing, and mathematics. This experience strengthened my research interest and inspired me to explore how technology can model, understand, and support the brain.
