March is MS Awareness Month. MS is a chronic disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system damages the myelin, disrupting communication between the brain and body. Learn about our MS & Neuroimmunology Disorders Clinic: fixel.ufhealth.org/ms-neuroimmuno…

Does the #brain run its own kind of #MachineLearning? @MIT researchers found evidence that neurons receive targeted, cell-by-cell feedback, echoing the error signals #AI systems use to fine-tune networks during learning and decision-making. bit.ly/4cK8F5T #neuroscience

Today is the day! Don’t forget to join us at 1pm on zoom :)

Interested in #industry but aren't sure how to get there? Join us on Thursday, Feb 26 at 1 pm for a zoom seminar presented by JoJo Platt, a leader bridging neurotech research and commercialization. Log on to learn more about the bench-to-bedside process! ufl.zoom.us/j/99751810396

Keep on the lookout for upcoming seminars from industry and academia experts alike; we will be announcing the dates and times soon!

Recently, researchers from here at UF had a strong presence at the NER Conference in San Diego, showcasing exciting advances and impactful research across the field of neural engineering!

Dr. Khalifa from here at UF helped organize the recent MRS symposium with Kyungjin, Sukho, and Yei Hwan. Over 24 pioneering bioelectronics researchers were present, including Zhenan Bao, John Rogers, Jia Liu, Jack Judy, Stephanie Lacour, Florian Solzbacher, and Vasiliki Giagka!

We are excited to announce another seminar, hosted by Dr. Li Min Chen from Vanderbilt University, on Focused Ultrasound's prospects as a neuromodulation technique! The talk will be this Wednesday from 1 -2 PM EST over Zoom, here's the link: nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Many brain disorders aren’t single-node problems, but network issues. A review by UF team asks: When do multiple electrodes’ benefits justify risk? What risk–benefit thresholds matter? What platforms allow multi-site therapy? Guide to next-gen DBS devices: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

We would like to thank Jon Sakai for presenting in our last seminar, and to those that attended and would like his slides, here they are! dropbox.com/scl/fi/33e2gi3…

📌Tomorrow at 2 pm • UF Neurotech, IEEE EMBS, and BMES welcome Jon Sakai for this month’s seminar. He is experienced in bringing medical technologies to market and is currently Director of Commercialization at CIONIC! Seminar link: ufl.zoom.us/j/93922000289

#ThankYou to Brian Romot who gave an excellent talk to our students on Monday. Another big thank you to everybody that attended this #seminar, you all had excellent questions! I hope everyone gained helpful insight into the world of R&D. Stay tuned for more seminars👀

📌Save the date: Sept 8 • 3:45 PM UF Neurotech is proud to have Brian Romot of @Axogen for this month’s seminar, where he'll present his work on nerve grafts. This is a great chance for R&D enthusiasts to hear from someone in the field! ufl.zoom.us/j/98105266967 #Neuroscience

#Transducers2025, a conference on solid-state sensors, actuators, & microsystems, is happening now! The theme is "Transducers for a Small World" with @JackWJudy as the chair. Professionals & students will discuss recent advancements from June 29-July 3🔬transducers2025.org

Last week, Dr. Adam Khalifa organized an awesome visit to Tucker-Davis Technologies! Thanks to CEO Ryan Kern and UF alum Jackson Fugate for welcoming us and showcasing the cutting-edge tools to advance neuroscience research. So inspiring to see where innovation meets impact!
