Major Allison J. Brager, PhD — Commander, Mobile Exhibit Company / US Army Recruiting Command — will be visiting WSU Spokane for the SPRC Seminar Series. Her seminar entitled “In Search of Super Soldiers” will be in person in the Spokane Academic Center room 241 and through Zoom on Thursday, Feb. 10, 12–1 p.m.
MAJ Brager, an Army neuroscientist, will discuss partnerships between the Army and WSU’s Sleep and Performance Research Center (SPRC), a legacy of work spearheaded and sustained from the days when Dr. Belenky (WSU ESFCOM Emeritus) was COL Belenky (Walter Reed Army Institute of Research). The partnership research aims to understand the neurobiological substrates and mechanisms of resiliency to sleep deprivation. The work ranges from highly controlled clinical trials with caffeine supplementation to real-time measures of sleep and performance in the Southernmost austere destination of the world, the Belgrano II research station in Antarctica.
We look forward to you joining us in person (SAC 241) or through Zoom!
