As they hunt down stories for their paper, the children uncover corruption, fight for justice and battle to save their slum from bulldozers. But against some of the most powerful forces in the city, can Ajay and his friends really succeed in bringing the truth to light? Not to mention win the most important cricket match ever.\r\n \r\n About the Author\r\n \r\n Varsha Shah always dreamt of becoming a writer. After earning a Law degree from Cambridge University, she worked as a solicitor and contributed articles to publications such as Legal Week, Legal Week Global, The Times Education Supplement, and the online edition of Harper's Bazaar. Now a teacher of English Language and Literature, she has also taught English as a foreign language in Japan and Canada, often drawing on her travels for inspiration in her writing.\r\n \r\n About the South Asia Book Award\r\n \r\n The South Asia Book Award is given annually for up to three outstanding works of literature, from picture books to young adult novels, which accurately and skillfully portray the experience of individuals living in South Asia, or of South Asians living in other parts of the world.

Despite its promising applications, our comprehension of the in-vivo neural mechanisms underlying this novel neuromodulation technology remains in its early stages. Our research endeavors in the lab aim to bridge this knowledge gap, extending from rodent to nonhuman primate models and humans. In my presentation, I will introduce some pivotal contributions made by our lab towards understanding the changes of in-vivo neuronal responses, inter-neuronal correlations, and brain network modulations elicited by tFUS stimulation. I will showcase our intracranial electrophysiological recordings from rodent and monkey models, revealing nuanced brain responses to specific stimulation parameters. Furthermore, we have translated tFUS devices and methodologies for the noninvasive modulation of human motor, somatosensory, and visual systems, measured through electroencephalography (EEG)-based source imaging with improved spatial specificity. Beyond influencing specific brain functions, I will also present our ongoing investigations into tFUS applications for modulating pain-related behaviors in a humanized sickle cell mouse model and for improving visual-motion responses and human cognitive attention in a brain-computer interface among a group of healthy human participants. These studies not only underscore the versatility of tFUS in neuromodulation but also highlight its therapeutic potential across domains of neurological function and behavior.\r\nZoom: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/94337625486", "occurrence_notes":"Zoom: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/94337625486", "guid":"131264-21868048@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/131264", "building_id":"1000406", "building_name":"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)", "campus_maps_id":"7", "room":"1130", "location_name":"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Michigan Engineering","Medicine","engineering","engineer","bme","Biotechnology","Biosciences","Bioninterfaces","biomedical engineering","biomedical","Biology","Biointerfaces","Basic Science"], "website":"http:\/\/bme.umich.edu", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Biomedical Engineering", "group_id":"1143", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100094127215673" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131264_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21868048 } }
