A new race is underway, not toward the moon, but toward the cure for epilepsy. For the millions of children and adults living with seizures, Drs. William Gaillard, Kareem Zaghloul, and Sridevi Sarma, along with many other researchers, are working to turn that possibility into reality. Their research reveals a future where seizures can finally be predicted, understood, and controlled.
Kyra Bowden presented her paper at the NANS 2026 Conference in Las Vegas, NV.
Kyra graduated in 2025 and is currently a PhD student at MIT.
The Sarma Lab celebrates Día de Muertos and built a lab altar together. They set up a shared altar table where everyone placed a photo, note, or symbolic object to honor someone meaningful to them: a relative, mentor, friend, historical figure, or beloved pet.
The altar was decorated with marigolds, candles, and papel picado, creating a colorful and respectful space for remembrance. Everyone’s contribution became part of a collective tribute built together.
In Día de Muertos tradition, it’s customary to include on the altar the foods and drinks that the person we are remembering enjoyed during their life. These offerings are meant to nourish the souls when they return to visit and to create a sense of closeness and reunion.
As part of our gathering, everyone brought a small dish, snack, or drink that the person they’re dedicating their altar offering to was fond of.
On October 20, 2025, Sri Sarma and Rina Dirickson, of the Neuromedical Control Systems Lab, served on a panel at the Blueprint MedTech Annual Conference 2025 in Washington DC.
The panel was titled: Neurotech Solutions: Meeting Patients Where They Are.
Dr. Sarma also provided Welcome Remarks for the conference as Executive Director of NeuroTech Harbor, which hosted the event.

Sri Sarma delivered the Don P. Giddens Inaugural Professorial Lecture recognizing her as a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
The lecture, “Networks of the Mind: Measuring Health from Global Order to Local Instability,” was held on Tuesday, September 30 on campus at Johns Hopkins University.

Work done in the Sarma lab contributes to the development of fast and non-invasive epilepsy diagnoses. NIH funding supported development of fast and non-invasive epilepsy diagnoses. Read more here. https://publicusaresearchbenefits.com/examples/2025-07-20-EEGdiagnosis/
Sri Sarma delivered a lightning talk about A Breakthrough in Epilepsy Diagnosis: Getting Patients the Right Answers, Faster at the BrainMind Science Collective in March 2025!

Sri Sarma joins Mark Mattson on his Brain Ponderings podcast to discuss:
Neurological disorders involve aberrant neural network activity. New technologies are needed for establishing at a fine spatial and temporal resolution the nature of the altered network activity – and for restoring activity to or towards a healthy state. Professor Sri Sarma is an electrical engineer and neuroscientist who is at the forefront of this research field. Her research combines learning theory and control systems with neuroscience to develop novel approaches for understanding normal brain function and then developing brain – computer – electrophysiology feedback control systems to improve performance in health and disease. Her research and technology development is advancing personalized treatments for epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, and depression.
