The CNT is helping to educate the next generation of neural engineers by mentoring students taking part in the 2018 NWABR Student Bio Expo, a year-long program focused on biotechnology, biomedicine and bioethics.
In the Neural Engineering Tech Studio, students participate in a competition aimed at developing their ideas into prototypes for commercial and clinical applications.
For over two years, high school teachers, Larry Bencivengo and Benjamin Hart, have been teaching and sharing neural engineering curriculum they developed together at the CNT. They are now poised to take their lesson plans to a national stage.
CNT member, Mehrdad Jazayeri, and his research team at MIT study neural system dynamics involved in sensory and motor coordination, which are key to performing everyday tasks.

Gaurav Mukherjee has been an active participant in the CSNE and the neural engineering community at the UW for over three years, and he is paying forward the support he’s received by mentoring others.
In addition to conducting her own research on brain-computer interfaces, Kaitlyn Casimo is helping to make neural engineering easier to understand for high school students and the general public.
During the summer of 2017, the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE) piloted a new program designed to increase knowledge about neural engineering among middle school and high school students.
The CSNE’s Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program assists middle school and high school science teachers with designing neural engineering curricula.
Participants in the CSNE’s Research Experience for Veterans (REV) program bring diverse points of view and a strong work ethic, motivated by their military experience.
