Socializing with Scientists
Charlotte Stagg reaches deep into the brain using ultrasound (she's a neuroscientist)
Charlie grew up in England, surrounded by books. At age 11, she declared that she wanted to be a research scientist. When she was a teenager, however, she started gravitating towards helping people more directly and went to medical school at age 18. After graduating, though, she realized her heart wasn't in medicine, and a remembered lecture from years earlier on post-stroke brain recovery inspired her to follow her childhood dream of doing research.
Charlotte Stagg, MBChB, PhD is now a neuroscientist at the University of Oxford. She studies motor function in humans, and was part of a team that created a helmet that sends ultrasound pulses into very specific parts of the brain. She plans to study whether the helmet can non-invasively treat people with neurological, and even psychiatric, disorders.
