Dr. Tay Netoff is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where he leads the NeuralNetoff Laboratory and serves as Conference Co-Chair for the National Consensus Conference on Epilepsy Neuromodulation. He earned his B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, followed by a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from George Washington University. He completed his postdoctoral training at the Center for BioDynamics at Boston University.
Dr. Netoff's research combines neuroscience, mathematics, and engineering to better understand how seizures emerge and propagate through the brain. His laboratory develops computational models and advanced analytical methods to predict brain activity, optimize electrical stimulation therapies, and personalize neuromodulation strategies for patients with epilepsy. Working closely with clinical collaborators, his team translates these innovations from computational and preclinical models into human studies.
An internationally recognized leader in computational neuroscience and epilepsy research, Dr. Netoff's work focuses on advancing responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation, and other bioelectronic therapies to improve seizure control and patient outcomes. His research has helped shape new approaches to optimizing neuromodulation parameters, with the long-term goal of making these therapies more effective, efficient, and individualized.
