For four weeks in July 2007, the CIMIT Forum Summer Education Series offered attendees the opportunity to build a greater understanding of Neurotechnology. Neurotechnology is one of the most exciting areas in health care today, because it has the potential to revolutionize many areas of clinical practice. Brain disorders cost billions of dollars to society and cause untold human misery to patients and their families. Recent developments in engineering and neuroscience may reduce the suffering and restore function and quality of life to persons affected by these disorders. Hosted by CIMIT and the MIT McGovern Institute Neurotechnology (MINT) Program, CIMIT Summer Education Series 2007 convened prominent engineers, neuroscientists and neurologists to update the CIMIT Community on recent developments in neurotechnology and to stimulate further progress in this dynamic and interdisciplinary field.
