A message from TBSI about their upcoming symposium:
The 8th Annual Texas Brain and Spine Institute Neuroscience Symposium is excited to announce the opportunity to host another internationally renowned leader to discuss his advancements in the frontier of Brain Machine Interfaces. This ground breaking work is focused on using computers and machines to restore brain and spinal function, and to explore the nervous system. This research has led to promising advances such as robotic limbs controlled by brain activity for use in paralyzed patients or amputees.
Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, Professor and Director of Duke University Center for Neuroengineering, will be this year’s Keynote Speaker. His award-winning research has been published in Nature, Science, and Scientific American and has been reported in Newsweek, Time, and Discover. Dr. Nicolelis is a dynamic speaker who has been featured on The Daily Show, Ted Talks, BBC, NPR, and in numerous other international media.
The symposium will be held on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 from 6:00-7:00 PM at the Annenberg Conference Center located at the George Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M University. The symposium is intended for the general public, for medical professionals, and for faculty, educators and students in all disciplines. Continuing education credits for medical professionals will be provided. For more information, or to register for this FREE event, please visit www.txbsi.com/symposium.
