Description:	Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Stetten Lecture The Stetten Lecture, sponsored by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), honors DeWitt Stetten Jr., a prominent NIH scientist and administrator and former NIGMS director. The lecture is part of the Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS). Dr. Brown is the Edward Hood Taplin Professor of Medical Engineering and of Computational Neuroscience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is an anesthesiologist and statistician whose research has helped explain the way anesthetic drugs act in the brain. His discoveries have led to new ways of monitoring patients' brain states during general anesthesia, as well as strategies for drug dosing and precisely controlling the anesthetic state. Dr. Brown also has developed signal–processing algorithms and statistical methods that characterize the dynamic properties of neuroscience data. A highly lauded lecturer, he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, and the National Academy of Engineering.
