 Sign up for a 15-minute Reiki session with certified Reiki master, Catherine Flayhan, as you experience healing in your whole-body by the gentle placement of the practitioner’s hands above or lightly on the receiver's body. Reiki is a healing practice that helps to bring your energetic body into alignment. Humans have two body forms. One is our physical body supported by our spine, bones, organs. We also have an energetic body with a central column that runs along our spine called a Sushumna. This is where the seven main Chakras live as well as the Nadis, which are channels that bring energy out to the rest of our body. Both can become out of alignment. When your energetic body is unaligned you visit a Reiki Practitioner.  Sponsored by the CWB.

Department of Mathematical SciencesGraduate Student SeminarFriday, September 19th, 20254:00PM-5:00PMStratton Hall 202Speaker: Derek Drumm, WPITitle: M/EEG Source Localization via Reciprocal Basis FunctionsAbstract: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are methods of recording the magnetic and electric fields of the brain. These fields are generated by neurological sources according to stimuli felt throughout the body. Source localization is a brain imaging procedure which uses the recorded M/EEG signals to recover the region of the neurological source. This procedure encompasses two major processes: building a model of the neurological sources (the forward problem) and using this model in conjunction with the recorded signals to localize the site of the sources (the inverse problem). In this presentation, I will present a brief overview of the source localization procedure and showcase how it can be utilized using our in-house solver to localize sources from real-world data.
