# Emery N. Brown **Domain:** Computational Neuroscience / Anesthesiology / Statistics **Doc Type:** Researcher Node **Institution:** [[MIT]], [[Picower Institute for Learning and Memory]], Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School **Related:** [[Consciousness]], [[Electroencephalography]], [[Traveling Waves]] --- ## Biography **Emery N. Brown** is an MIT Institute Professor, anesthesiologist, statistician, and computational neuroscientist. His research integrates systems neuroscience, signal processing, and clinical anesthesiology to study how anesthetic drugs induce and maintain unconsciousness. ## Corpus Context Brown's collaborations with Earl K. Miller's group help establish the anesthesia evidence discussed in [[articles/Analog Cognition and the Architecture of Continuity|Analog Cognition and the Architecture of Continuity]]: anesthetic agents with different molecular mechanisms can converge on disruption of large-scale brain-wave organization. ## Sources / Provenance - [Emery N.
