Centre for Networked Intelligence

Dear All, Networks Seminar, supported by the Centre for Networked Intelligence, is a technical discussion forum in topics including but not limited to computer networks, machine learning, signal processing, and information theory. The seminar series has a webpage hosted at https://cni.iisc.ac.in/seminars/. You are invited to the following seminar held as part of this series. Title: Aging Brain Research: Challenges and Opportunities Speaker: Professor K V S Hari, Director, Centre for Brain Research, Indian Institute of Science Time: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (IST) Date: 21 January 2026 Venue: GJ Hall and Online on Zoom Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83388976389?pwd=XcpO3GhLxsR14a7SVbPx33HQQa1jbt.1 Zoom Meeting ID: 833 8897 6389, Pass Code: NSSIISc YouTube Livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-qQcsGQhBg Webpage Link: https://cni.iisc.ac.in/seminars/2026-01-21/ Abstract: Aging Brain research involves understanding the mechanisms of healthy and diseased aging in order to design appropriate interventions. The talk will present the issues related to cognitive decline and the current understanding about dementia. The challenges involved in assessing the status of cognitive decline will be highlighted. The motivation for collecting multimodal data that includes MRI, OCT, Gait, etc. will be presented. The use of proteomics and genomics coupled with digital data presents a huge opportunity to develop sophisticated data analysis tools to build a composite biomarker for early detection of the onset of the disease. These predictive tools would enable designing appropriate intervention mechanisms to halt or delay the progress of the disease.
