IHMC is a not-for-profit research institute of the Florida University System and is affiliated with several Florida universities and research centers. Researchers at IHMC pioneer technologies aimed at leveraging and extending human capabilities. Our human-centered approach often results in systems that can be regarded as cognitive or perceptual prostheses, much as eyeglasses are a sort of ocular prosthesis. These systems fit the human and machine components together in ways that exploit their respective strengths and mitigate their respective weaknesses. The design and fit of computational prostheses require a broader interdisciplinary range than is typically found in one organization, thus IHMC staff includes computer scientists, cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, physicians, philosophers, engineers and social scientists of various stripes, as well as some people who resist all attempts to classify them

STEM-Talk Episode 179 is now live wherever you listen to podcasts and our guest is JP Errico, known for his innovative work in neuroimmunology, which affects inflammation, mental health, aging, and more. Errico recently joined IHMC as a Senior Research Scientist and he believes everyone should understand this discipline to live a healthy life. Neuroimmunology is the study of how the nervous system and the immune system interact with a focus on vagus nerve stimulation. “I’ve come to realize that stimulating the nervous system the right way also activates multiple other systems in the body,” Errico says. “One is your immune system. The other is your cellular metabolism. It also has a pretty profound effect on your microbiome. When I think of the four most fundamental pillars on which all life functions, it’s your immune system, it’s your cellular metabolism, it’s your microbiome, and it’s your autonomic nervous system.” Listen today on your favorite podcast platform or on our website, https://lnkd.in/eyWnVgmG
