Neurotechnology Dinners

NIMET co-hosts monthly Neurotech Dinners between the Movement Disorders Center. Each month an exciting speaker is recruited to give a talk about their research. The dinners usually start at 5pm and the presentation will follow around 5:15pm.

Current Neurotech Dinner:

• Dr. Cynthia Chestek — “Towards restoring dextrous movement of the hand” – https://www.eng.ufl.edu/nimet/cynthia-chestek/ ‎
  In this lecture she will discuss active efforts in her lab to translate advanced neural-interface technology for amputees to the clinic.
