The Sleep and Performance Research Center welcomes Dr. Tracy Jill Doty, Walter Reed Institute of Research, to WSU Spokane on Tuesday, Sept. 17. She will be providing her seminar at 12:10 p.m., “Cutting Edge Fatigue Mitigation Solutions: Military Use, Civilian Implications,” in SAC 347 and via Zoom.
Dr. Doty will discuss the latest research and products from the WRAIR Sleep Research Center — including performance modeling and electrical brain stimulation — and discuss how these tools could be applied to civilian populations.
Dr. Tracy Jill Doty is the chief of the Sleep Research Center at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR). She completed her undergraduate training at Duke University and then received her PhD in Clinical Neuroscience from the NIH-Karolinska Institutet Graduate Partnership Program. Her postdoctoral training occurred in the Translational Neuroscience Branch of the U.S. Army Research Laboratories. With over twenty years of experience in neuroscience — ten of those in military research — Dr. Doty’s current research centers on better understanding how sleep impacts human behavior and how interventions, including brain stimulation and caffeine, can be applied to mitigate the negative impact of sleep loss in the field.
We look forward to you joining us in person (SAC 347) or through Zoom!
