We received the very sad news that BCI Society member Professor Krishna Shenoy has passed away. Loosing Krishna means loosing a brilliant scientist and wonderful mentor. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and colleagues.

Great write up about Austin Beggin’s work with @ClevelandFES using a #BrainComputerInterface to restore function to a paralyzed arm. cc: @bcipioneers

Great read about the future of #NeuroTech. @DoctorAliRezai ’s experience with DBS comforted me when he implanted my BCI device in 2014. I’m glad to see further DBS research @WVURNI to treat addiction, depression, and other diseases. https://t.co/nsnOu4EBRD via @ZachWritesStuff
