All about me

Hello, My name is Afaf Sidani, and I am currently completing my B.S. in Psychology/Neuroscience with a minor in computer science at the University of Miami. Throughout my high school years, I always enjoyed the sciences, but I never thought I would be interested in the biological and psychological side of the brain until I wrote a research paper about it. Many people automatically assume that a Psychology/Neuroscience degree will result in a neuroscientist or doctor. However, I am planning to take a completely different route. The reason I combined a Psychology/Neuroscience degree with a minor in computer science is because of the similarities between the brain processes and modern technology. Artificial intelligence is the technological replica of the human brain, the CNS and its impulses, the machines are programmed to use artificial neural networks to react to stimuli and make decisions, just like the brain. In the future I plan to focus on the research part of neuroscience, where I will use AI to help people with brain disorders.
