Artificial Intelligence and BCIs in Healthcare discusses the essentials of state-of-the-art brain signal analysis, AI, and BCIs available today. This book is an ideal bridge of these emerging technologies. Divided into three sections, the chapters cover the Fundamentals, Applications, and Regulatory Issues facing healthcare systems today. Artificial Intelligence and BCIs in Healthcare fills a gap in literature available to researchers and may also be of interest to clinicians.

Rachel June Smith

Rachel June Smith joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Neuroengineering Program as an assistant professor in August 2022. She completed her Ph.D. with Dr. Beth Lopour at UC Irvine in 2019. Her doctoral work focused on the development of computational metrics in scalp EEG data that reflected disease burden and predicted response to treatment in patients with infantile spasms (IS), a potentially devastating epileptic encephalopathy. Rachel completed her postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University with Dr. Sridevi Sarma, where she used dynamical systems and control theory techniques to localize the onset of seizures in the epileptic brain from intracranial EEG recordings during single-pulse electrical stimulation. As an assistant professor at UAB, Rachel will continue to collaborate with expert neurologists and use her computational skills to develop novel measures of therapeutic response in patients with neurodegenerative disorders.
