Kurt Weaver is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology and holds faculty affiliations in the UW Graduate Program in Neuroscience, the UW Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE) and an adjunct appointment in the UW Department of Psychology. He is a junior Investigator in the grid lab and a primary instructor in the UW School of Medicine where he is co-director of the Mind, Brain and Behavior block, the primary neuroanatomy course for UW undergraduate medical education. His research interests are primarily focused on the relationship between complex and integrative neural systems and higher-level cognitive and behavioral function. Current efforts combine both functional imaging (e.g. fMRI) modalities and invasive electrophysiology including Electrocorticography (ECoG) and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to probe cognition as a function of interactions across widely distributed yet highly inter-connected networks. This work leverages the high fidelity of direct recordings from the human cortex and deep brain structures to interrogate relationships between brain organization, functional connectivity and computation neurophysiology.
