[Cyborg] Conference on Neural Prosthetics on Sat. May 21

[Chung-Hay Luk]

Hi Cyborgs,

  If you're not at Maker Faire Sat. May 21 (checking out Sensebridge's Heart
Spark at 3 pm<http://www.lbruning.com/etextiles/etextile-showcase-at-maker-faire-bay-area-2011/>),
consider learning more about cyborg-like research at this Stanford-hosted
day-long conference on neural prosthetics/brain-machine interfaces. Details
below.

Smiles,
  Chung-Hay


 *Mind Over Matter: a Conference on Neural Prosthetics*
brought to you by Stanford CoSIGN

Interested in neuroscience? Want to learn more about the boundary between
human and machine?  Wonder if it will ever be possible to help the blind to
see or victims of paralysis to interact with their environment or even
potentially walk again?


Join us for an engaging series of presentations and discussions with
researches from around the Bay Area on how neuroscience and technology
combine to create an exciting new field of biomedical research that truly
has the potential to cause miracles in some patients' lives.  *Help us
expose more students who would be interested in this topic by forwarding to
other relevant lists.*
