Dr. Montague is the Director of both the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory and the Computational Psychiatry Unit at Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute. He also holds professorships in Physics at Virginia Tech, and in Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at Virginia Tech School of Medicine.
Dr. Montague’s team uses computational and experimental approaches to study decision-making, addiction, social exchanges, and the role of specific neurotransmitters and brain regions in cognition within normal and diseased patients. Dr. Montague is well regarded for his national and international speaking engagements, and his work has been featured on PBS’s “The Brain with David Eagleman,” in a Global TED talk, and in numerous scientific and popular articles.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Tim Marzullo
“Bringing the Body’s Electrical Signals Out of the Body and Designing Interfaces Therein.”
Dr. Marzullo is a cofounder and engineer at BackYard Brains, an international company bringing brain science to the masses with inexpensive technologies. He leads a development team to create user-friendly electrophysiology hardware to investigate the electrical properties of neurons, circuits, and organisms. Dr. Marzullo is a true tinkerer, as is apparent through his diverse interests of accessible electrophysiology equipment, neuroprosthetics, brain microstimulation, low cost fluorescent imaging systems, and cool cars.
