'There's someone thinking of an idea somewhere in this world that could change our world and our way of living and we just need to give them the right resources to be able to do such,' Sossena Wood, a bioengineer, said.
I’m Sossena Wood and I'm a bioengineer. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a pharmacist. So they are two individuals who work in the medical field. I thought that I would stay away from it, but I find myself being lured into it and really having the heart like them to help people out.
When we look at the brain, we're looking at both healthy patients as well as individuals who happen to have some type of damage or disease in their brain. We want be able to see, without cutting someone open, what exactly is happening if something is wrong. This is our coil that we've developed in our lab. This was the first prototype of it. This is the head phantom that I built. It's supposed to mimic the human brain. We will put the head phantom in here first to make sure that everything looks right. And then after that, we invite a volunteer in and we begin to optimize what we see on the computer end.
