Neural co-processors for the brain
A new paper by CNT Co-Director, Rajesh Rao, proposes an innovative conceptual framework based on artificial neural networks for bi-directional brain-computer interfaces (BBCIs). This new way of thinking about BBCI development points a viable way toward moving neural devices out of the laboratory and into real-world settings. A brain-computer interface is a type of neurotechnology…

When science teachers return for multiple years of the CNT’s Research Experience for Teachers program, everyone benefits
Wayne Gillam The Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program is supporting middle and high school teachers who return to the Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) year-after-year, benefiting not only those teachers’ students and peer educators, but the CNT’s education programs and researchers as well. Phelana Pang, a middle school science teacher at the Seattle Girls’ School, first…
