If you could go the rest of your life without making any mistakes, would you?

Michael Cohen will argue that not only is this impossible, it is also undesirable. Cohen will share some of the neuroscience, as well as important challenges, in this research area in the next few decades.

His research lab uses cutting-edge neuroscience methods to measure electrical brain activity to better understand fundamental mechanisms of cognition and neural circuit dynamics.
