Dr. Miguel Nicolelis at Harvard - TODAY

by DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program - Brazil-related events, conferences, research, classes and cultural activities.

*The Brazil Studies Program at Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies presents* *Innovating for Science and Development in Brazil* A presentation by * Dr. Miguel Nicolelis* Dr. Nicolelis is one of the world's foremost neuroscientists for his work on neural ensemble recording animal behavior and neuroprosthetic design. Even though Dr. Nicolelis has become internationally famous as Brazil's person nearest to winning a Nobel Prize, his work on the integration of education and science for development in Brazilian poor communities has proven to be even more revolutionary than his work as a scientist. Bringing high quality education and permanent interaction with technology to underprivileged children randomly selected to participate in the International Institute of Neurosciences located in Natal and Macaiba, Brazil, he has proven wrong the skeptics who believe that technological and social innovation are beyond Brazil's capabilities sparking a new movement for change in Brazilian education and society.
