He has 12 distinct patents spanning from biophotonics, brain imaging, optical designs, and behavioural procedural methods for which the great majority have been licensed or sold to companies such as Essilor, CogniSens and Annidis health. His research interests are diverse dealing from low- to high-level perceptual and cognitive processing, human performance, development, aging, optics and photonics spanning from a fundamental perspective to translational research. He also holds the NSERC-Essilor Industrial Research Chair on Visual Function.

Jocelyn Faubert is a full professor and directeur adjoint (equivalent of vice dean) of research and graduate studies at the School of Optometry of Université de Montréal. Jocelyn Faubert – Neurotracker (keynote speaker) It will bring together the plasticity community by drawing on the interdisciplinary strengths of the University of Illinois, the Beckman Institute (especially the newly formed Intelligence, Learning and Plasticity community), the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute, the Center for Brain Plasticity, and Carle Foundation Hospital, to support and foster an environment rich in intellectual, technological, and information resources dedicated to the study of brain plasticity. This symposium also builds upon the incredible wealth of plasticity research and data at the University of Illinois to provide a nexus for future long-term university wide collaborations. It also encourages clinical trials that investigate science and technology that aims to mitigate or reverse the effects of cognitive aging, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and neurological disease. It promotes interdisciplinary studies of the neurobiological foundations of brain plasticity, and innovative methods and technologies to drive neural plasticity through the application of cognitive training, non-invasive brain stimulation, physical fitness training, mindfulness meditation, and nutrition, among others.

Through scientific discovery and technological innovation, this symposium provides a hub for basic and translational research that aims to measure, model, and elicit brain plasticity.
