CNT IN THE NEWS

Azadeh Yazdan standing outside the CSE building.

CNT faculty member Azadeh Yazdan has received a new National Institutes of Health grant to develop neural engineering techniques guided by artificial intelligence. This research will help our understanding of the brain and developing better treatments for mental health disorders.

Listen to the Neuroethics Today podcast as CNT member Sara Goering and other panelists discuss how emerging technologies interact with ableist structures and how neuroethics can better challenge these ableist structures.
