DESCRIPTION:Human brain is traditionally studied in controlled experimenta
 l conditions wherein confounds of the natural environment are intentionall
 y eliminated. Given the complexity of environmental factors and social int
 eractions in our real life\, the modes of brain function in natural condit
 ions remain largely unknown. This presentation will include a historical o
 verview of localization of functions in the brain and a review of some of 
 the most recent findings with intracranial recordings and electrical brain
  stimulations in patients undergoing neurosurgical evaluations.\n\n\nBIO\n
 Josef Parvizi is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurological Scie
 nces at Stanford University and specializes in the field of epilepsy surge
 ry with interest in functional mapping of the brain using a combination of
  functional imaging\, intracranial EEG\, and electrical brain stimulation.
  Parvizi graduated from the University of Oslo with MD Cum Laude in 1996 a
 nd earned his PhD in neurosciences from the University of Iowa in 1999. He
  completed his medical internship at Mayo Clinic\, neurology residency at 
 Harvard\, and epilepsy fellowship at UCLA. He has earned numerous teaching
  and research awards and his research is currently funded by the National 
 Institute of Health (NIH) and National Science Foundation (NSF) as well as
  several private foundation grants.  \n
