Humanizing the impact of neurotechnology through conversation with a person who has a spinal cord injury

The CNT Practitioner and End-user Roundtable facilitates conversations between the CNT community and neurotechnology end users. This summer’s roundtable featured Jon Schlueter, a study participant in the lab of CNT Co-Director, Chet Moritz.

Engineering improvements to deep brain stimulation

CNT researchers at the University of Washington, in partnership with the CNT’s industry affiliate, Medtronic, are developing brain-controlled deep brain stimulators, which can be used to better treat Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor.

Jeffrey Herron leverages his experience in academia and industry to improve research tools

Jeffrey Herron began his affiliation with the CNT as a student at the University of Washington (UW). Now, he has come full-circle, returning to the center and the UW as an assistant professor of neurological surgery in UW Medicine.
