The deadline for Board Nominations is today. Nominate yourself or a colleague to help shape the future of the BCI Society.

Can a #robot arm be controlled by the #brain? Our Science Magazine paper about bidirectional #BCI was adapted into a #STEMeducation lesson plan for #teaching future neuroscientists and engineers. 🦾🧠⚡️👩‍🔬 sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/can-a…

Just in time for International Women's Day!🦸‍♀️👩‍🔬👩‍💻I am sooooo proud of this paper💜It was a massive team effort with a wonderful group of women. We interviewed 6 women in Neural Engineering about their experiences navigating this field. #WomenInSTEM frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Interested in plasticity in neural interfaces? I have a review for you! With Dadarlat Lab and Ryan Canfield from aoLab, we review factors influencing plasticity in motor and sensory brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

Members of the BCI Society are invited to vote in the board elections. Four seats are open for elections. Please vote by April 24. bcisociety.org/about/election…

Congratulations ⁦Angelica Herrera, PhD⁩ and fellow ⁦RNEL⁩ PhD graduates, ⁦Bailey Petersen and ⁦Ritesh Kumar⁩! Very proud of you all!

sliman bensmaia (@[email protected]) was a great collaborator, scientist, mentor, and friend. His enthusiasm for science, and life in general, was unmatched. We will miss him greatly. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.

Word has quickly gotten around about the untimely death of sliman bensmaia (@[email protected]). I wanted to pass on a couple more bits of information, including a gofundme for Kerry and kids (gofundme.com/f/sliman-bensm…) and a photo album (photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNz…). Add your favorites!

Horrible news but a beautiful tribute. Sliman will be missed. Sliman Bensmaia, leading expert on the neuroscience of touch, 1973-2023 news.uchicago.edu/story/sliman-b…

The news is still hard to believe. Sliman was one-of-a-kind. I’ll miss his passion and creativity and our regular discussions and debates. Rest in peace, Sliman. uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/news…
