Nancy Kopell Quotes

Nancy Jane Kopell is an American mathematician and professor at Boston University. She is co-director of the Center for Computational Neuroscience and Neural Technology . She organized and directs the Cognitive Rhythms Collaborative . Kopell received her B.A. from Cornell University in 1963 and her Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1967. She held visiting positions at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France , MIT , and the California Institute of Technology .

The focus of her research is the field of applied biomathematics and includes use of mathematical models to analyze the physiological mechanisms of brain dynamics. The techniques Kopell uses include extensions of invariant manifold theory, averaging theory, and geometric methods for singularly perturbed equations. From the peak of her career in 1990, she has contributed to over 200 published research articles in the field of biomathematics. Her current interests include topics such as: how does the brain produce its dynamics , how do brain rhythms take part in cognition , and how can pathologies of brain dynamics help to understand symptoms of neurological diseases as well as altered states of consciousness . She collaborates widely with experimentalists and clinicians in order to conduct research on these topics.Kopell is a 1990 MacArthur Fellow. Wikipedia
