Members of our lab recently traveled to Ohio State University to present their work at the Ohio Academy of Science Annual Meeting 2026. Three of our researchers shared their projects:
- Bayan Ahmad presented Foundations for Generalizing Cortical Current Density Predictions From High-Density EEG Using Gradient Boosted Decision Trees.
- Maria Leyba Mesa presented A Multimodal Deep Network for Parkinson’s Disease Assessment from Handwriting Kinematics and Visual Task Traces.
- Rachael Amira Brimm presented Explainable AI and EEG for Cognitive Load Monitoring in Pediatric Language Therapy.
All three did an outstanding job communicating their research. The meeting was a great experience, with inspiring speakers and panelists, and a chance to talk with other researchers about our current work. It was also valuable to step outside the Akron-Cleveland area, see what other schools are working on, and represent the University of Akron Biomedical Engineering Department.
