This summer we are hosting a Mitacs research intern in the lab: Juan Camilo!\u00a0Juan is a medical student in Medellin, Colombia and he is joining us for the next three months as part of MITACS\u2019s Globalink internship program.<\/strong><\/p>

He will contribute to different projects, thanks to his prior research experience, especially his experience with electroencephalography, which we invite you to discover below.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Q – Juan, what do you like about research?<\/p>

I find research as a way of living because it’s a really fulfilling and exciting experience. At the beginning of every day at the lab, I always find myself glad to have the opportunity to learn something new in order to accomplish a new task or write down a project. There’s always something new to learn, like a tool, fact or technique awaiting to be discovered in a different book or paper. Also meeting new people that are interested in this area makes me feel like science in general and, of course, cognitive neuroscience is a worldwide language shared by many others with different perspectives and approaches to a problem, and those ideas are worth sharing, therefore I decided to work as a medical researcher because I think that helping others is an objective that goes beyond the clinical practice.<\/em><\/p>

Q – Why are you interested in our lab?<\/p>

Previously I have done some projects on neurophysiology, but I want to gain some hands-on experience with TMS and its potential applications in neurological diseases such as dementia or cerebrovascular diseases in order to share this knowledge with my team back in Colombia.\u00a0\u00a0Also, I have already been part of interdisciplinary teams in other contexts, and I think that the different perspectives available at the speech and hearing neuroscience laboratory are enriching for my training as a medical researcher because I want to learn from all the different perspectives on the lab and their wide experience in topics of interest such as speech-language pathology and biomedical engineering.<\/em><\/p>

Juan, we welcome you to the lab and to Canada!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
