Engineering data security for brain-computer interfaces
A new type of wireless transceiver is on its way to making data transmitted by brain-computer interfaces more secure. Chip layouts of the secure CSR-UWB transmitter and receiver in a 32nm CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. Online data security has been a public concern for some time now. Whether it’s hacking of business or government…

The CNT Practitioner and End-User Roundtable
Imagine being asked to solve a problem for someone who you’ve never met. You have the necessary skills, you’ve been given a detailed overview of the issues at-hand, and you understand what’s at stake; however, you never have actually met anybody with the problem you’re trying to solve. Given enough time and information, you might…

What is Neural Engineering
What exactly is Sensorimotor Neural Engineering? That is a very good question, and one that I get asked frequently. Inevitably when you meet someone you get to talking about what you do for a living, and if you work at the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering, it’s only natural for people to wonder what on…
