NCEAS Roundtable TODAY - Jessica Kendall-Bar

[Camila Vargas Poulsen]

**Join us today 3:30pm @NCEAS 3rd Floor Lounge**

Speaker: Jessica Kendall-Bar

Talk's Title:  Lessons from the deep: using electrophysiology & visualization to learn how the brain survives at sea.

Abstract: This seminar will review her work to create innovative tools to detect, visualize, and analyze the physiology and behavior of animals in extreme environments that showcase their biological resilience to oxygen and sleep deprivation. From individuals to ecosystems, Kendall-Bar conducts multidisciplinary physiological studies that combine basic and applied science with potential to advance conservation and translational medicine. This seminar reviews Kendall-Bar's dissertation research on sleep in seals and presents some current and ongoing projects to combine high-performance computing and visualization to assess brain activity in human freedivers, epilepsy in sea lions, and cardiac performance in some of the largest (blue whales) and smallest (emperor penguins) divers.
