At the crossroads of engineering and neuroscience: Amy Orsborn studies adaptive neural interfaces
In 2018, Amy Orsborn joined the University of Washington (UW) as a CNT-affiliated faculty member and Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and the Department of Bioengineering. She has worked on a range of research projects studying brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), but her interest in neurotechnology began in 2006 after attending a lecture by Eberhard Fetz, a CNT…

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…

2019 Neural Computation and Engineering Connection encourages collaboration and conversation
This two-day event, held at the CNT and the University of Washington Husky Union Building, brought students and world-class neural engineering researchers together to listen to, engage with and learn from each other. In its eighth run, the Neural Computation and Engineering Connection, a two-day event from Jan. 24 to Jan. 25, did exactly what…

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…
